Ingredients

  • 1 cup of onions finely chopped
  • 2 medium size carrots finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme optional
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 10.5 ounce box of risoni
  • 25-25 ounces of bone broth
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Parmesan or pecorino romano cheese
  • Olive or avocado oil
  • Unrefined salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat a 12 inch pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions, carrots, celery, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of sat, few cracks of pepper, and cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the bone broth in a pot. Add the garlic and cook until the veggies are soft, about 5 more minutes. Add one box of Trader Joe's risoni to the pan along with another teaspoon of oil and cook for 3 minutes, this will toast the risoni and five it more flavor. Add enough bone broth to the pan to barely cover the risoni and mix well. Turn the heat just below medium and cook for another 20-25 minutes, mixing often and adding more liquid when the pan gets dry.
  2. If you run out of bone broth, use water, but make sure it's hot. After 20 minutes check for seasoning, you will need more salt. You want the risoni to be al dente, or have a little chew to it, keep cooking until you get to that stage. Turn the heat off the pan when risoni is done, add the butter and mix well.
  3. Serve risoni with a generous grating of cheese on top and a drizzle of really good extra virgin olive oil if you have it. Enjoy!
