And for anyone who gives a shit, if you’re using fat free Greek yogurt and low fat cream cheese (as pictured) it’s one calcium HE and 1/2 for the spray of olive oil.

Once mixed, serve. Touch more black pepper for me and a tiny bit of Parmesan. Tho it didn’t really need it the sauce is pretty cheesy.

Well fit.

Spoon in the cream cheese and yogurt mixture and stir through. Once it warms a touch it’ll thin out making it easier.

Drain the pasta when cooked, and add pasta to the mushroom and onions with a touch of the water

Have added a couple of spoons of the pasta water to it to loosen.

Chuck your pasta in to cook. Salted water obviously, we’re not animals.

While that cooks (add a splash of water if you need to) mix together the cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Season.

And then add another touch of oil and add the chopped mushrooms.

Chop and lightly fry the shallot. Pay attention and don’t let it brown. U like me.

Right, let’s me a creamy garlic mushroom pasta thing shall we. More effort than beans on toast but hopefully worth it.

And when you’re happy, serve and top with MOAR cheese because there’s always a need for more cheese.

Chorizo, roasted butternut squash and (chickpea) orzo because I didn’t have risotto rice. Done.

Enjoy!

Mix it up fully, taste as you go. Add pepper as needed. Or more cheese. Etc.

And some grated hard Italian cheese. But more than this obviously. I added mine in stages to make sure it lived through fully.

Add the cooked butternut squash to the pan

#DinnerWithDawbes
December 20, 2025 at 7:10 PM
A generous pinch of nooch and a teaspoon of chicken powder

I’ve added a chunk of frozen spinach because I can’t be arsed cooling broccoli for the side. And I’ve added the mushroom water / stock. Let the rice absorb.

#DinnerWithDawbes
December 20, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Then add some white wine and let the rice slowly absorb that

Add the orzo / risotto rice and coat it in the butter and delicious chorizo fat

#DinnerWithDawbes
December 20, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Let all the delicious flavour out of the chorizo, and get ready to add your risotto rice - or in this case orzo because I’m a massive twat and we don’t have any fucking risotto rice

#DinnerWithDawbes
December 20, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Right chorizo is skinned chopped and added to the pan. I’ve turned the heat up a tiny bit as I can watch it now.

#DinnerWithDawbes
December 20, 2025 at 6:44 PM
I’m also soaking some mixed dried mushrooms for stock

#DinnerWithDawbes
December 20, 2025 at 6:43 PM
Next I’ve chopped a large onion and some garlic and chucked them in to a heavy bottom pan with butter and a touch of olive oil.

Will let the onions cook down while I chop the chorizo.

So tonight we’re making a chorizo and roasted butternut squash risotto. Forgot to take a starting pic of ingredients but step 1 was chopping butternut squash, spraying with oil and roasting. Mine went in the Airfryer.
