Preheat the oven/air fryer to 200ºC/180ºC fan.
Add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to an oven proof dish and add the onions. Fry off for 4-5 minutes until soft then add in the garlic and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Add in the ground beef or pork and use your spatula to break it down. Fry for another 5 minutes until it is brown, then add in the tomato puree and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Add in the red wine (if using) and let that cook until it is mostly evaporated and the alcohol is cooked off.
Add in the tinned tomatoes, the beef stock cube, the mixed herbs and the water and stir together until the stock cube is dissolved.
Add in the orzo and stir until well combined. Let this bubble for just a couple of minutes then turn off the heat and top with your shredded or grated cheese!
Pop it in the oven for around 30 minutes until the orzo is cooked and the mozzarella is golden brown.
Let it cool slightly, top with fresh basil, if using. Dig in and enjoy!
