Risoni, the rice shaped pasta doesn't act exactly like rice, but can be used in the same way you would use rice for most dishes. Think jambalaya!

WE LOVED THIS DISH! It started as a bit of a joke, as mostly risoni is the only pasta still available during the crazy shelf stripping episodes we are all seeing happen around the world! I think that is because people have no idea what to do with risoni, the little rice shaped pasta. Rest assured I will never make homemade risoni...I think we are probably on the same page about that one...can you even imagine?

SOOO when it was posted on social media that risoni was still widely available we got cracking. This dish was a revelation. Even my carnivore man child asked for more and told me he loved it! WINNING.

I think you can safely buy risoni kids, if that is all there is left, we got you sorted!
