Better-for-You Tip: Traditionally risotto is not thought of as a quick and easy dish to make at home; however, our twist on it is just that. Although it’s not totally authentic, it’s a veggie-packed version that’ll have you craving it over and over again. The secret is the blend of the parmesan cheese which is high in flavor (which means a little goes a long way) and the low-sodium chicken broth that makes it velvety-delicious and better for you.
