Simple and quick to make, Slimming World's bacon and tomato risotto is a classic dinnertime treat.
Most risotto recipes involve standing over the hob and stirring constantly, but this is different - just pop this in the oven and enjoy a delicious bacon and cherry tomato risotto an hour later. With courgettes and cherry tomatoes, this extra easy Slimming World recipe also helps you reach your 5-a-day, keeping you healthy while also helping you get slimmer. It's good if you're on a budget as well: one of our favourite healthy cheap family meals. This recipe serves 4 people, which means the whole family can enjoy tucking into this for dinner together. You could also keep leftovers for lunch for the week – this dish will keep in the fridge in a Tupperware for a few days.

- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 200g lean bacon, all visible fat removed, roughly chopped
