Garlic Primavera. 

Enjoy the light flavor and aromatic blend of herbs and vegetables in this elegant Italian-style risotto. We created this delicious gourmet side dish by blending quality ingredients like garlic, onion, zucchini, carrots, red and green bell peppers, mushroom, parsley, and Parmesan cheese with our creamy Arborio rice. You’ll love how the individual kernels plump, creating a rich, creamy sauce while the rice grains remain separate and al dente.
