Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more. 6. After about 15 minutes, when the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. 7. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to warm through. 8. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.
