Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
½ cup dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 (23 ounce) jar tomato puree (passata)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup frozen peas
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 ¼ cups uncooked short-grain white rice
water as needed
1 cup cubed provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and bread crumbs together in a bowl; set aside.
  • 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.
  • While the rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Remove the Dutch oven from the stove and gently stir in provolone cheese. Sprinkle reserved bread crumb mixture on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned on top, about 15 minutes.
