1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 sachet
Vegetable Stock Powder
2
Bacon
1 packet
Baby Spinach Leaves
1 packet
Risoni
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat May be present: Eggs, Soy)
1
Red Onion
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk)
1
Lemon
2 packet
Peeled Pumpkin Pieces
1 drizzle
olive oil
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk)
2 cup
water

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Cut onion (see ingredients) into wedges.
• Cut bacon into 1cm pieces.

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook bacon until golden, 5-6 minutes.
• Add risoni, garlic & herb seasoning, vegetable stock powder and the water. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat.

• Transfer the risoni to a medium baking dish.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake until the liquid is absorbed and the risoni is ‘al dente’, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• While the risoni is baking, place onion and peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

• Meanwhile, zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
• Remove the risoni from the oven, then stir through lemon zest, a good squeeze of lemon juice, baby leaves, the butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risoni if needed.
• When the veggies have roasted, gently stir them through the risoni.

• Divide bacon and roast pumpkin risoni between bowls. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
