I can heartily recommend the oven-baked risotto on the bbcgoodfood website
it's a piece of piss, comes out basically the same as one cooked on the hob and you don't need to fuck about standing over it.

if she doesn't dig meat (which I seem to recall) then leave the bacon out. I tend to roast cubes of butternut squash and add those at the same time as the parmesan.

if I'm wrong and she does eat meat, then use cubed pancetta or chorizo.

most welcome.
the recipe is so tasty you can easily get by with no meat. might need to add a little salt to season if you aren't using bacon or something though.

I often find taht teh parmesan you add brings alot of the required saltiness
if you do over salt it or another dish, then simply add a couple of thick slices of raw potatoe, they help to soak up the salt.

Remove before serving...

I do too
I made the pizza from Jamie's 30 minute meals thing the other day. Base is made of self-raising flour and water and you start off cooking it in a big frying pan and finish it under the grill. Was fucking awesome.
