Today's recipe is a cross between a risotto and a pasta dish. It's made with a tiny, rice-shaped pasta called 'orzo' cooked in a similar way to risotto. You could think of it as an 'orzotto'! We've put a twist on the accompanying pesto too. Instead of basil we're using rocket which provides a delicious, peppery contrast to the creamy pasta and fresh tomatoes. Enjoy!
