Place all the vegetables in a large saucepan, pour in 1.5 liters (2 and 1/2 pints) of water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes.

Bring the vegetable stock to a boil.
Heat the olive oil in another saucepan.
Add the onion and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, peppers and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally for a another 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice grains are coated in olive oil.
Add a ladleful of the hot stock and cook, stirring, until it has been completely absorbed.
Continue adding the stock, a ladleful at a time, and stirring until each addition has been absorbed (it will take about 18-20 minutes).
When the rice is tender, stir in the Parmigiano cheese and serve. Serves 4.
