Instructions
- Reheat the Rice: Place the refrigerated rice in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a pan over medium heat, adding a splash of water to prevent sticking.

- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the top of the rice and tomatoes. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
