How to Make Baked Artichoke And Pesto Risotto

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large saucepan, bring the crushed tomatoes and stock to a simmer over medium heat. Keep warm.
  3. While the stock simmers, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the Arborio rice and artichoke hearts to the skillet. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
  5. Stir in the pesto into the warm tomato mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour the rice mixture into a large, oven-safe casserole dish with a lid.
  7. Bake, covered, for 35 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid, stir gently, then cover and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and creamy.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
