Baked Pesto Risotto Balls
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Add your egg, ⅛ cup of your Italian bread crumbs, and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese to your leftover risotto and combine well by mixing with your hands.

  3. In another bowl combine your ½ cup of Italian bread crumbs, ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper.

  4. Roll your risotto mixture into bite size balls and then roll them in the bread crumb mixture.

  5. Place onto a cooling rack that is sitting on top of a baking sheet to ensure that all sides of the risotto balls get crispy.

  6. Spray thoroughly with the non-stick spray.

  7. Bake for about 20-30 minutes until the risotto balls have browned nicely.

  8. Optionally, you can broil for the last 5 minutes to ensure good color.

  9. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce and fresh basil.
