This version we never wrote up but should have. It has nice color from a mix of veggies. Start with sauteing up some mushrooms. and some chopped onion, halved grape tomatoes, and zucchini (we used baby zucchini in the photo). Onion is almost always the start of risotto, farrotto recipes, so it hardly seems necessary to add to the named ingredients.
There is not really much need to quantify this recipe with more details since it is really all "to taste". The photos tell the story enough for anyone with a will to follow.
Then after both cool, combine them.
Then serve with shaved parmegiano.
And this is a bigger serving plate...hmm. Not sure how to explain that. But is is pretty.
Served with some baked pasta.
Cheesy mezzi rigatono with zucchini and eggplant (not particularly evident).
This seems like a normal portion compared to those big plates pictured above. The baked mezzi rigatoni were competitive.
