Quick Creamy Bacon & Mushroom Risoni
with Parmesan & Balsamic Rocket
We’re big advocates for risoni. These tiny little pasta pieces soak up so much flavour, they’re great for letting your favourite ingredients shine! Mushroom, bacon and leek in a creamy sauce take centre stage in this meal, with a peppery balsamic rocket salad cutting right through that delicious richness.

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and a generous pinch of salt. • Cook risoni, uncovered, over high heat, until 'al dente', 7-8 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain risoni, then return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice button mushrooms and leek. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and half the butter over high heat. • Cook mushrooms, stirring, until tender, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and leek, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until browned, 4-6 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning, cream (see ingredients) and the reserved pasta water, stirring until well combined. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add cooked risoni, mushrooms, grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining butter. Stir until combined and season to taste.
• In a medium bowl, combine rocket leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. • Divide creamy bacon and mushroom risoni between bowls. • Top with balsamic rocket to serve. Enjoy!
