Method

  • step 1

    Tip the rice, onion and half the butter into a large microwave-proof bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave on High for 3 mins. Stir in the stock and passata, then continue to cook, uncovered, for 10 mins. Give it a good stir and mix in the tomatoes and mozzarella. Microwave on High for a further 8 mins until the rice is cooked and the tomatoes have softened.

  • step 2

    Leave the risotto to relax for a few mins, then stir in the remaining butter, parmesan and basil. Season to taste and serve straight from the bowl.

Still good without butter?

Is this still good without butter?

Love how easy this was! I blitzed the cherry tomatoes in a food processor, as I have a member of my household who isn't keen on the texture of whole tomatoes, and that worked well.

Easy and delicious! We don’t have a microwave so I cooked on low on the hob for 20 or so mins until rice was tender

My family loves this for dinner! I usually add some finely chopped spinach to add to the vegetable content of it. Today I didn't have spinach so have used kale, as well as some red pepper and smoked sausage. Great easy dinner!
