Vegetable Risotto With Smoked Mozzarella

The rich flavor from the smoked mozzarella (mozzarella affumicata) pairs nicely with the sweet and tart flavor of the Caravella Limoncello in this colorful risotto dish. During the fall and winter seasons try substituting diced butternut squash for asparagus its a delicious variation.” - Chef Claire Criscuolo at her restaurant Claire’s Corner Copia. My friend Judy has made this dish but I only had a little taste the next day. However, that little bit convinced me I wanted the recipe and here it is! — posted by DiScharf

Marinaded Tomatoes and Mozzarella for Pasta, Chicken, Bruschetta

The recipe was originally intended to be served over pasta and if you want to have it that way, just cook up 1 pound of fettuccine and mix in the topping. We like this over garlic crostini. This would also be good over fish or chicken, or even as a simple salad. From Real Simple August 2007. — posted by kburie
