Happy Saturday! I hope you are all having a great weekend.
Something about rice with tomato sauce- I just love it. Spanish rice… yummmm, and now Italian rice. My boyfriend made this delicious meal for me the other night, and this rice was on the menu.
The recipe comes from a website named cookingwithnonna.com. It has lots of great recipes but way too many advertisements. I don’t blame anyone for making a living, but it can be hard to navigate. Sorry Nonna!
I pay for this platform so you don’t have to navigate the ads.
Ingredients:
3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
3 cups passata or tomato puree
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
Grated Parmigiano cheese
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add in the tomato puree and salt. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
In a separate saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add cooked rice to the sauce and combine over heat for 1-2 minutes.
Grate Parmigiano cheese to garnish.
Damn, that is easy!
Buon appetito!
