If you thought bolognese and spaghetti were a match made in heaven, wait till you try it as a saucy risotto dish! Arborio rice absorbs the well-loved flavours of the bolognese in a way that pasta can’t - we think that this twist on a classic is a 10 out of 10.
We’ve replaced the arborio rice in this recipe with risoni due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

• Boil the kettle.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice leek. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef & pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add leek and soffritto mix and cook, until tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Add garlic, Aussie spice blend and tomato paste to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the beef-style stock powder, reserved pasta water and cooked risoni. Cook until slightly thickened 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir through the butter and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. • In a large bowl, combine rocket leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide beef, pork and veggie bolognese risoni between bowls. Sprinkle over remaining grated Parmesan cheese. • Serve with balsamic rocket salad. Enjoy!
