Fall is underway and Alessi Farro is the perfect comfort food to enjoy on crisp fall nights. Farro can be a daunting ingredient if you aren't familiar with it, but take it from Nila Knisell: It's as easy to work with as it is delicious. Knisell had no experience with Farro when she created her tasty recipe for Farro with Veggies. This recipe is simple enough for any home cook, but delivers a combination of flavors worthy of a professional chef. Her recipe combines the warm comfort of Farro with the familiar delight of sautéed vegetables to create the perfect side dish for any fall dinner. See below for the full recipe:
