A true messenger of spring, risotto primavera is a creamy Italian rice dish studded with colorful vegetables such as asparagus, spring onions, shallots, fresh peas, and broad beans. Other ingredients include butter, chicken or vegetable stock, Arborio or Carnaroli rice, and a splash of dry white wine.

The dish is typically finished with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and it is recommended to serve the risotto warm, preferably garnished with a few basil leaves.
