There are plenty of good risoni dishes out there, but we’re confident this one takes the crown. Mildly spiced chorizo is balanced by roast capsicum, courgette and corn, then brightened with lime and finished in a rich tomato sauce. Sounds like a winner to us.
1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 tin
Sweetcorn
1
Capsicum
320 g
Chicken Breast
1 packet
Tomato Paste
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
1
Courgette
1
Lime
1 packet
Risoni
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat; May be present: Eggs, Soy)

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut capsicum and courgette into bite-sized chunks. Drain the sweetcorn. • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes.

• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook risoni, uncovered, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. • Reserve some cooking water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain, then return risoni to the saucepan. • While the risoni is cooking, zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.

• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, garlic & herb seasoning and soffritto mix, tossing occasionally, until browned, and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add tomato paste (see ingredients) and the butter and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add cooked risoni, roasted veggies, reserved pasta water, baby spinach leaves, lemon zest and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine. Season to taste.

• Divide chicken, corn and courgette risoni between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
