Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Risoni (Orzo) with Crispy Sage & Walnuts

This week's new recipe is a quick and easy sweet potato and pumpkin orzo (risoni) with crispy sage and walnuts. The sweet potato and pumpkin give this pasta a delicious nutty-sweet flavour. Combined with the salty, crunchy toppings, and the creamy goat's cheese, this dish has the perfect flavours and textures all in one.

It is cooked very similarly to a risotto. The base ingredients are sautéed off, then the orzo added, followed by the liquids, and finally, the butter and Parmesan added to bring it all together and gloss it up.

Vanilla & Thyme Maple Roasted Strawberries

I LOVE roasted fruit! The sweet 'jammyness' and endless flavour options and additions. Not to mention all the things you can add them to; porridge, thick yoghurt and granola, pancakes, ice cream, on toast with fresh ricotta or cream cheese (pictured). So many possibilities.

Enjoy! And please let me know if you have any questions.
