Risotto Pie from Leftovers! image

It's almost impossible to make risotto for just two people, so I always end up with a pot of "what-the-heck-to-do-with-this?" I had made a batch of wild-mushroom risotto and just could not throw away the leftovers. I made/froze little *arancini* balls with some of it, but still had a couple of cups left. A peek into the fridge revealed some leftover sauteed zucchini and yellow squash, and a ball of baby mozzarella that needed to be used. Voila'! Veggie risotto pie! Cook it 'til the edges get crisp and brown, let cool, slice and serve. Really best at room temp.
