• 1 cup Pinot Grigio

• 1 ½ cups Arborio Rice

• 1 tbsp fresh Basil leaves, torn

• 1 tbsp Fresh Italian Parsley, chopped

• 1 each 15 oz Jar Rao’s Alfredo Sauce, you will need 1 cup of the sauce reserved.

• 1 each 1.75oz tin Black Crown Caviar Sterlet

Directions

1. Pour stock into a medium saucepan set over medium heat.

2. Working in another medium saucepan, add the olive oil and place the pan over medium high heat.

4. Add the garlic and the Arborio rice and stir to begin to cook the garlic and coat the Arborio rice with the oil. (about 2 minutes)

5. Add the wine and continue to cook and stir until the wine is completely evaporated.

6. Next, begin ladling in 1 cup of stock at a time, stirring as you add the stock. Continue doing this until the stock is absorbed. This will take about 20-25 minutes. You will need to add stock, stir, and then continue this process until the rice is almost cooked through.

7. Now, lower the heat to a simmer and add 1 cup of the Rao’s Alfredo sauce.

9. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in half of the Sterlet Caviar.

10. Arrange the Risotto on a warm serving platter or shallow bowl.

11. Garnish with the remaining caviar.
