• 3/4 cup (175 mL) carrot, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
• 1 cup (250 mL) Arborio rice

Directions

1. In saucepan set over medium heat, bring stock to simmer; reduce heat to low and keep warm.
2. Melt butter in large saucepan set over medium heat; cook Cube-etti, carrot, onion, garlic and pepper, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Stir in rice until well coated. Add wine and bay leaf; cook until almost all wine is absorbed.
3. Add warm stock, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time and stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more, for about 20 minutes total or until rice is creamy and tender. Remove bay leaf.
