parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Provolone can be less expensive while still providing a good melt.

Pour in red wine and cook until absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.

Add canned tomatoes, oregano, and basil; stir to combine.

Gradually add vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more.

Continue cooking until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Fold in diced bell pepper and mozzarella cheese until just melted.

Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
