Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic (, minced)
- 1 small onion (, peeled and diced (brown, white or yellow))
- 1 lb / 500g ground beef ((mince))
- 24 oz / 700g tomato passata ((Note 3))
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp dried Italian Herbs (, or any combination of dried parsley, oregano, basil)
- 2 beef bouillon cubes ((Note 1))
- 1/2 to 1 tsp salt ((to taste))
- Black pepper
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups dried orzo / risoni
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Finely chopped parsley
Steps
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet/fry pan (or pot) over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until translucent.
-
Add the mince and turn the heat up to high. Cook the mince, breaking it up as you go.
-
When the mince is browned, add the remaining ingredients except the orzo. When the liquid comes to a simmer (it might bubble and spit slightly) add the orzo/risoni.
-
Give it a quick stir then turn the heat down to medium low.
-
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently towards the end to ensure the orzo/risoni doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. If your liquid is evaporating too quickly, just add a slosh of hot water (tap or boiling).
-
Remove the risoni from the heat. The risoni should be a teeny bit hard still and it should be very saucy when you take it off the stove. (Note 2)
-
Check for seasoning (salt), then give it a good stir.
-
Serve immediately, while it's piping hot and nice and saucy, garnished with freshly grated parmesan and parsley, if desired.
