Sartu' di Riso is a Neapolitan savory rice dish. There are as many versions of Sartu' di Riso as there are Neapolitan cooks! A couple of things they all have in common are the base of cooked rice mixed with tomato sauce and a topping of hard boiled eggs.

This is a fairly "light" version, using a basic tomato basil red sauce rather than a heavier sausage onion based red sauce.  Even though I call this version light, it’s as hearty and filling as any lasagna!

This is a recipe from Chat 'n Dish show host, KC Quaretti. View episodes of the show now on The Food Channel.
