Preparation
1
Get Started

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle. 

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

2
Risotto Time

Once the onion has softened, add the garlic and cook for 1 min. 

Add the risotto rice, stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.

Stir in the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount), mixed herbs and veg stock paste. Bring back up to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil).

Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has almost been absorbed, 20-25 mins.

3
Roast your Tomatoes

Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, then season. Drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).

Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel. Pop the tomato parcel on the bottom shelf of your oven until softened, 15-20 mins.

While everything bakes, drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then tear into small pieces.

4
Bring on the Spinach

When the risotto's ready, remove it from the oven and stir in the butter (see pantry for amount), hard Italian style cheese, pesto, spinach and sun-dried tomato paste.

Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. 

5
Melt the Mozzarella

Arrange the mozzarella on top of your risotto.

Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake until melted, 5-8 mins.

6
Finish and Serve

Share the risotto between your bowls. 

Top with the roasted baby plum tomatoes (discarding the juices) to finish.

Enjoy!
