Enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of this One Pot Italian Risoni. This easy-to-make dinner recipe captures the essence of Italian cuisine in just one pot! Each spoonful unveils a symphony of flavors, from the tender risoni to the tangy tomatoes and the savoury antipasto mix.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
250g punnet medley tomatoes, halved
350g risoni
2 cups chicken-style stock
500g jar tomato pasta sauce
1½ cups (260g) antipasto mix (pitted olives, sundried tomatoes, roasted capsicum strips and marinated artichokes), drained
125g Perfect Italiano Traditional Grated Parmesan
½ cup basil leaves, torn, extra leaves to serve

Method

Heat oil in a large, deep-frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4 minutes, or until the onions have softened.
Stir in tomatoes, risoni, stock and pasta sauce. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes. Stir in antipasto mix. Cook for a further 5 minutes, or until risoni is nearly tender then remove from heat (the risoni will continue cooking upon standing).
Remove from the heat. Stir in ¾ of the Traditional Grated Parmesan and the basil.
Serve immediately with remaining Traditional Shaved Parmesan and basil leaves to garnish.
