Risoni – the clever pasta that looks like rice – is the ideal ingredient in this warm bowl. With pumpkin and courgette, this dinner filled with goodness gets the welcome addition of feta cheese and basil pesto to really raise the flavour stakes.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice courgette into half-moons. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces and courgette on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 12-15 minutes. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop baby leaves and parsley.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• While the veggies are roasting, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water, vegetable stock powder, garlic & herb seasoning and risoni, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and risoni is 'al dente', 13-15 minutes.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and remaining garlic, then cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season, then stir through parsley. Transfer to a bowl. • When the risoni is cooked, gently stir through roasted veggies, baby leaves, plant-based basil pesto, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and half the cow's feta cheese (see ingredients). Season to taste.
• Divide basil pesto and roast pumpkin risoni between bowls. • Top with chilli pangrattato. • Crumble over remaining feta cheese to serve. Enjoy!
