This authentic Italian-style risotto is cooked the slow, painful way, but it's oh so worth it. It's the perfect complement for grilled meats and chicken dishes.
Red wine vinegar gives a piquant edge to sauteed garlic, Portobello mushrooms, red bell peppers and zucchini. Toss the mixture with bow tie pasta, and serve with grated Parmesan.
Tiny, rice-shaped orzo absorbs liquid and flavor much like rice, but unlike traditional risotto, this recipe doesn't need to be stirred obsessively for a perfectly al dente, creamy result.
