Ingredients
Sage pesto
Method
1.For pesto, combine pine nuts, garlic and oil in a small food processor and process until finely chopped. Add cheese, sage and spinach and pulse until smooth; season to taste.
2.Heat 1 tbsp oil and butter in a large deep-sided frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and stir occasionally until very soft (6-8 minutes). Add rice, stirring to coat, and cook until just coated (1 minute). Add wine and stir occasionally until almost evaporated (2-3 minutes). Add stock a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until stock is absorbed before adding more. Cook until rice is al dente (20-25 minutes). Add pesto (reserving 1 tbsp), season to taste and stir to combine.
3.Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a small frying pan over high heat. Add sage leaves; cook for 30 seconds, or until crisp.
4.Divide risotto between bowls, top with mozzarella, fried sage leaves and extra pesto to serve.
