Ingredients 

  • 200 g 7 oz orzo
  • 250 ml 1 cup soy vegetable cooking cream (I use Alpro Cuisine)
  • 200 g 1 cup crushed, canned tomatoes
  • 50 ml 1.6 oz dry, white wine - alternatively, you can replace it with water or vegetable stock
  • 300 ml 10 oz water or vegetable stock
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil
  • basil fresh or dry, to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 Naturli veggie balls

Instructions

  • To cook the veggie balls, simply toss them on an oven tray, just as they are - frozen - and bake them at 200C for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the orzo and cook it over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the wine, water or vegetable stock, cooking cream and the crushed, canned tomatoes. Add the seasonings.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Make sure you stir regularly so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Serve with veggie balls on top.
