Need to think of something quick and easy for dinner tonight? Try my tomato risotto which is ready in less than 30 mins. Add some extra cheese in for the kids!
I had a beautiful risotto when I spent some time in Rome last year and it was absolutely delicious and so so simple. I had to re-create it.
I had some leftover pasta sauce in the fridge which I added to the mix but a can of crushed tomatoes will work perfectly.
It's the simple meals that turn out the best!
