How to cook deliciously - Riso al Forno (Italian Baked Rice)

1. Stage

Mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and bread crumbs together in a bowl; set aside.

2. Stage

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and saute until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add passata, vegetable broth, peas, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Add rice; mix well. Cover and simmer, adding a bit of water if necessary to keep rice from sticking to the bottom, until tender, about 18 minutes.

3. Stage

While the rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4. Stage

Remove the Dutch oven from the stove and gently stir in provolone cheese. Sprinkle reserved bread crumb mixture on top.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned on top, about 15 minutes.
