Heat the pot on the stove with approximately 1cm of water. When the water is boiling, add the mussels, cover with a lid and steam them for a couple of minutes, stirring every minute or so until they open. Try to make sure every mussel comes into contact with the heat, which helps to make sure they open.
Remove from the heat and strain the mussels off, keeping some of the liquid in a bowl.
In a large pot, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic, chilli, cherry tomatoes and the can of diced tomatoes.
Add fish stock and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour uncooked risoni into the pot and cover with lid. Cook for around 6 minutes.
Add the mussels and prawns (if using prawns) and cook for 2 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Ensure to stir the mussels through to coat.
Add peas, stir and turn off the heat.
To finish, crumble feta into pot and sprinkle parsley over top.
