I’ve got a good recipe to share with you today. It’s very simple but tastes gourmet. Definitely one you could serve to guests. It’s similar to a risotto without the extra work and time of having to stir it constantly.
The goat cheese is added at the end and mixed in to create the creaminess of a risotto. We loved it. You could also use whatever vegetables and beans you have available, and I’m sure this would taste just as good using ricotta cheese. I’ll be trying that next.
