Step 1

In a saucepan over medium low heat, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil, your garlic cloves and sizzle for a couple of minutes.

Step 2

Add tomato passata, season with salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook slowly for 30 mins, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

When your sauce is ready, remove a ladleful of it and set aside (we will need it later).

Step 4

Now, add your rice in your tomato sauce and cook it for the time indicated in the package (but it might take a little longer so make sure you taste it frequently to double check).

Step 5

If your rice becomes too thick, simply add ladlefuls of boiling water and keep cooking it until it’s ready.

Step 6

Turn the heat off, add half of your mozzarella and Parmigiano and stir everything together.

Step 7

Add the ladleful of tomato sauce we saved earlier at the bottom of an oven dish, add half of your cooked cheesy rice and the rest of your mozzarella and Parmigiano.

Step 8

Cover with the remaining rice and use a spatula to level it.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for about 15/20 mins or until the top starts to become crispy (220C/430F).

Step 10

Buon appetito!
