How To Make Creamy Tomato Risotto
This creamy tomato risotto is a flavorful and comforting dish made with Arborio rice, tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
-
Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly toasted.
-
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to coat the rice. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Begin adding the vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Repeat this process until all the broth is used and the rice is creamy and tender (about 20-25 minutes).
-
Stir in the parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Remove from heat and let the risotto sit for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the creamy tomato risotto hot and garnish with additional grated parmesan and fresh basil, if desired.
