Traybake Tomato Risotto
SERVES 2
READY IN 55 MINUTES
I’m absolutely loving traybakes for a simple dinner you can just pop in the oven and forget about while you tackle the more pressing issues on your to do list or just take some time to sit back and chill out with a book or a good tv show.
This Traybake Tomato Risotto may not be traditional but when it still delivers creamy, comforting bowlfuls without the need to stand over the stove stirring for half an hour you can count me in!
I’ve topped my traybake with roasted cherry tomatoes, basil and pumpkin seeds but you could use this recipe as a base for whatever veggies are in season or to your liking.
