Make creamy Risotto at home 🇮🇹

By CookUp • Issue #12 • View online

This week we’ll dive into Risotto. A northern Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it becomes rich and creamy. Risotto in Italy is normally a first course served before the main course. And the first recipes date all the way back to 1809.

The best risotto is perfumed of wine and Parmesan, and replete with butter. Often associated with fancy high-end restaurants, but really, it’s the epitome of Italian home cooking. Let’s get to it and cook up some delicious risotto of your own.
