Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. 
  • Finely chop celery, carrot and garlic. 
 Start the Risoni
2
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook carrot, celery and bacon, until starting to brown, 4-6 minutes. 
  • Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, tomato & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
  • Add risoni and stir to coat. 
  • Stir in passata and the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people). 
Bake the risoni
3
  • Transfer risoni to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. 
  • Bake until liquid is absorbed and risoni is ‘al dente’, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
TIP: If needed, add a splash of water to loosen the risoni. 

Bake the brie
4
  • When risoni has 10 minutes remaining, to a second baking dish, add brie, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake until softened.
Finish the risoni
5
  • Remove risoni from oven and stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted. Season.

TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen risoni if needed. 

Serve up
6
  • Divide bacon risoni between bowls and top with baked brie. Enjoy!
