Why not try Sacla' Risotto Sauce with Butternut Squash and Parmesan - a deliciously mellow and creamy sauce, packed with succulent ingredients.

Sacla' Butternut Squash Risotto with Gorgonzola and Walnuts

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 x 190g jar Sacla' Butternut Squash & Parmesan Sauce for Risotto
200g risotto rice
1 vegetable stock cube
large knob butter
100g Gorgonzola, cut into chunks
25g walnut pieces
salt & freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Empty the Butternut Squash Risotto Sauce into a large saucepan. Add the rice, stock cube and 3 empty jars worth (600ml) of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce down to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until creamy but the rice still has some 'bite'. If the risotto looks too dry before it has finished cooking just add a splash of extra boiling water.

Stir a knob of butter into the risotto, season well, and crumble in the Gorgonzola. Divide between 2 warm bowls, scatter over the walnuts and serve.

Buon Appetito!

RICE RAGE!

Rice IS nice!

A UK food company is so outraged by the annual celebrity moans about the boredom of eating rice every day whilst in the jungle, they are prepared to send in their own rice products to prove it can be varied and delicious on a nightly basis.

Former Pussycat doll Ashley Roberts has been quoted as saying 'I am dreading surviving on rice and beans'.

Employees at the Kent-based company Veetee say they are looking into the logistics of sending a helicopter filled with their Veetee Dine In rice - which can be microwaved or stir-fried in just two minutes - in response to the annual whinging.

Rajiv Varma, of Veetee, said: "Every year for at least a fortnight we are bombarded with TV celebrities moaning about one of the most natural, versatile & delicious food products available, eaten by millions of people . They even use rice rations as a punishment. We are fed up with the distorted image of rice and the negative connotations around our business' passion. Rice is versatile, tasty and so easy to cook, great value and an inspiration for so many dishes. It's about time we fought back!'

The Company is launching a Facebook campaign to rally other 'Rice Ragers' and see if they can persuade people to donate their recipes to show that 'Rice IS nice'!! To join them visit https://www.facebook.com/veeteedinein
