Risotto is a creamy and decadent Italian rice dish that is often made with Arborio rice. The rice is cooked slowly in broth and white wine, and is often mixed with vegetables like mushrooms, asparagus, or peas. The key to making perfect risotto is to stir the rice constantly to release the starches and create a creamy texture. Risotto is a perfect dish for a special occasion or a romantic dinner for two.
