Finely chop the onion.
In a large pot, heat a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a pat of butter.Add the chopped onion and when it becomes transparent, add the rice and let it toast.
Add one ladle of broth at a time, cooking the rice for the time indicated on the package minus a couple of minutes, adding the blended peeled tomatoes when you have no more broth, along with a few basil leaves, stirring thoroughly.
When two minutes are missing from the end of cooking, turn off the heat and stir in some grated Parmesan and a bit of butter.Pour half of the prepared risotto into a buttered baking dish.
Cover with the slices of mozzarella and scamorza, forming a layer, and then pour over the rest of the risotto, leveling it.
Sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan and some small pats of butter and bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for twenty minutes, switching to grill mode in the last minutes of cooking.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve your baked rice pizza.
