Baked Spinach Risotto from the SW Everyday Italian Cookbook. Very easy and yummy enough for a dinner party.
1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
100g baby spinach leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
300g arborio rice
2-3 tbsp mixed herbs ( I use less herbs)
200g cherry tomatoes, halved
800ml stock
S&P
100g grated parmesan cheese
Put kettle on to boil.
Heat oven to 180C
Spray large pan with frylight and cook spring onions, spinach and garlic about 7 mins until spinach has wilted.
Add rice and herbs and mix well, Stir in tomatoes and stock. Season well.
Transfer to an ovenproof dish. Cover and bake 25 mins
Stir in cheese and serve.
PS When I did it in my pyrex casserole it took about 40 mins, but I now have a Stellar pan and it is ready in 25.

That sounds yummy!
I would normally just freeze the rest but this is a great idea. I'd never have thought to do chilli lasagne - thanks!

Sounds great. Mine is an all in one risotto.
250g pack of bacon - all fat removed and cut into small pieces
1 onion, chopped
Fry Light
300g risotto rice
150g cherry tomatoes, halved
700ml hot chicken stock
50g Parmesan or Cheddar, grated
Can add: sliced mushrooms, cooked chicken pieces, petit pois, corn, etc.
Oven 200C/Gas 6
Spray ovenproof dish with Fry Light and cook the bacon on the hob. Then add the onion and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
Tip in the rice and stir well. Add the tomatoes and stock plus any other ingredients you may like but not the cheese.
Stir. Cover with a close fitting lid and bake for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. When all the liquid has been absorbed, remove from oven and stir the cheese through.
This is supposed to serve 4 but my partner and I have it between us, it's so delicious! : ) On EE it is free, as long as you use the cheese as a HE.
It is the tastiest and easiest risotto I have ever made and no stirring the liquid in gradually either!

OK, I've got lots and lots of favourites, but the one I keep going back to at the moment is Italian Chicken and Tomato soup:
Fry 1 finely chopped onion, 2 rashers of lean back bacon (I think it's best with smoked bacon, but unsmoked works too) and 2 finely chopped carrots (the recipe says to grate them, but that's too much like hard work for me!) in a large, non-stick saucepan for a couple of minutes.
Add 2 large chicken breasts cut into strips, 600g of chopped tomatoes, 400ml chicken stock, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary and the zest and juice of a lemon.
Bring to the boil, stir then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins.
And you're done!
I like to cook up some small pasta shapes while the soup's cooking and bung those in to the bowl before serving. And if I have some HExA left, I'll grate some Parmesan over.
Totally yummy, quick and really comforting
