Chicken risotto


I used:
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 Chicken Oxo cubes, made up to 1 pint of stock
  • 4 tbsp Tesco frozen diced onion
  • 100g frozen petit pois
  • 150g Arborio rice
And I did this:
  1. In a heavy frying pan, fry the chicken in a little olive oil
  2. Add the peas and onion and fry for a couple of minutes
  3. Add the Oxo stock, and bring to the boil
  4. Add the rice, stir, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring every 4 minutes or so, until all of the stock has been absorbed

Super-quick pasta bolognese bake

I used:
  • 1 jar Dress Italian Sun-Dried Tomato sauce
  • 250g dried penna a triangolo pasta
  • 250g Tesco steak mince
  • 4 tbsp Tesco frozen diced onion
  • 1 handful Cathedral City Light grated cheddar cheese
And I did this:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6
  2. Fry the mince with a little olive oil until it is cooked, adding the onion for the final couple of minutes frying time
  3. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions
  4. Put the mince/onion and pasta into a medium oven-proof dish, pour over the tomato sauce and mix thoroughly
  5. Sprinkle the cheese liberally over the top
  6. Bake in the over for about 10-12 minutes
