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!
