Cheesy Butternut and Bacon Orzo
Sweet butternut squash, salty bacon and mellow mushrooms give this wholesome pasta recipe a delicious, deep flavour. We love using tiny orzo pasta instead of rice, simmering it in chicken stock and melting in reduced-fat Cheddar, until you’re left with a creamy, cheesy risotto-like dish. A perfect midweek meal, this one-pot wonder freezes like a dream. Do yourself a favour and make a few extra portions to stash away in the freezer for a rainy day!
Hints & Tips
Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.
We find the bacon makes this dish salty enough, so we don’t season with salt, only freshly ground black pepper.
