Artichoke & Goat Cheese Risotto

We prepare our risotto just like one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Cortina! Mixing in our Artichoke & Goat Cheese Dip is our ultimate hack for a slightly tangy, yet creamy base (that, and you don’t have to spend an hour endlessly stirring the grains)! This dish makes a great vegetarian entrée or side dish for the table - and bonus, it's gluten free!
