Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the zucchini into 2cm half-moons. Place the zucchini and peeled & chopped pumpkin on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Get prepped
2

While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges.

Cook the risoni
3

In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water, crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and risoni (see ingredients). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the risoni is 'al dente' and the water is absorbed, 13-15 minutes. TIP: Add a splash more water if the risoni looks dry!

Make the pangrattato
4

While the risoni is cooking, roughly chop the parsley leaves. In a medium frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. Add the lemon zest, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and stir through the parsley. Remove from the heat. TIP: Add more or less lemon zest to taste.

Finish the risoni
5

Gently stir the roasted veggies, baby spinach, basil pesto, a good squeeze of lemon juice and 1/2 the fetta through the risoni and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add the veggies to the risoni pan and save on washing up!

Serve up
6

Divide the pesto, roast pumpkin and fetta risoni between plates. Sprinkle with the lemon and chilli pangrattato and crumble over the remaining fetta cubes. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
