EFFORT to get it right. So I’ve created this quick, easy and tasty ‘risotto’ that doesn’t take an age to cook, but still gives you that creamy satisfying texture reminiscent from a regular risotto. The secret? Well you’ll have to watch the video won’t you!

❤Annie
Nice one Adam.
Hey Adam!! This looks like it is a great comfort food dinner! You always make amazing dishes! Than you!
What are my favorite pasta dishes?? I love macaroni and cheese, as long as it's not from a box. And my latest favorite is spaghetti all'assassina, a very savory, spicy and intense pasta dish – very worth making and trying.
Thank you again! Take care, be safe and happy cooking! 😊💖🙏🏻
I'm playing the worlds smallest violin for you Adam lol. Great dish!! Looks brill
Looks delicious 😋
Thanks
Glorious!!!! Looks like it's about 60 calories ish. Probably.
Aww my sympathys, hope you feel better real soon, hayfever? Food looks amazing as usual x
We call that pasta risoni and very popular with the Greeks. I never ever thought of using risoni instead of Arborio rice. I have always had a problem cleaning leeks so that is a very good and easy way of dealing with the dirt. That is a very good easy recipe – sorry you are not in the pink
I love orzo and this is a great recipe to introduce people to it. You're going to need to feature your neighbours trying your food eventually 😁
Feeling ya Adam….have had to take 3 days off work for the very symptoms you are mentioning….I hope yours dosn't take a turn for the worse…plenty of lemon tea; vicks and throat lozenges do the trick…oh and bed rest for sure sleep sleep & more sleep😴
A question Adam….instead of leek could spring onion be substituted?
Did anyone else think it was pizza in the thumbnail?
Looks delicious
Feel better, mate! Thanks for the video, as always! Looks delicious, and the sprouts are looking so cute! Oh, my favorite pasta dish is Alla Amatritiana or Caccio e pepe – simple ingredients, but so delicious!
Big hugs 💗
Ooh another interesting recipe embellished with handy hints. Hope you're feeling better Adam, just getting over cooties myself.
Note to all the vegetarians: Parmigiano reggiano and Grana pardano are not vegetarian.
The late great Keith Floyd always had a glass or three while cooking, so that's what we should all do.
Great looking meal, cheers Adam.
You could so vary that bad boy! Swap chorizo for mushrooms (great if veggie). Swap leeks for onions. Add spinach or frozen peas near the end…
That looks so yummy yum yum, ran out of food today, well last night, get some money tuesday, why do😊 i watch cooing when im hungry lol might shop for the ingredients for that tomorrow, but no wine, Extra stock i think. Thank you adam , yet another fablus recipe😊
Bless your hear, hope you feel better very soon, plenty of garlic good for colds, I love loads of garlic.
Looks lovly and so easy to make ❤👍🇨🇮
Wish I was eating with you lol looks delicious.
As always, looks great Adam. I missed you last week 👋
Oh another banging recipe, thanks Adam. I've never even heard of orzo but do like making Risotto. This looks a lot less work and much less stirring, I'll give it a go.
You had me at chorizo 🤤 Love this recipe, thank you Adam! 👍
I get so cross when I see what supermarkets sell what they call leeks! They sell half the plant, probably because so many people don't what to do with a leek! How much tasty leek is wasted? 😡
I have eaten Risotto but I thought I had cooked it wrongly cos the rice was sloppy. I have since learned that Risotto rice IS sloppy and I don't like sloppy rice so I don't eat it.
HOWEVER this looks NOT sloppy and even if it was a bit wet it is Pasta and I have some Orzo so for me this is a 'must try'. AND I can make a single portion easily. Thank you.
