Quick and Delicious Risotto Recipe You Will Make Again and Again

I love risotto but we’re told it can be tricky and time consuming - not this one! Karen at Comfort and Peasant shared this recipe that takes only 30 minutes and the flavors are incredible. Her post includes a printable recipe and the story of a late night in Milan and being comforted by a risotto dish just when she needed it. Get the recipe & story here. A little taste:

“As luck would have it by the time I arrived they had cleared all the food and the waiter informed me it was too late to order from the kitchen. Totally defeated I slumped in a chair and ordered a glass of wine. At least it wasn’t too late for that! The waiter must have sensed my despair because a few minutes later he came out of the kitchen and told me that the cook had prepared risotto for the staff meal and there was a little left. Would I like some? Would I? Well, I almost kissed him.”

“While Risotto Alla Milanese will always have a special place in my heart, this version comes in a close second. It features Pecorino Romano cheese which has a little more bite than Parmesan Reggiano, as well as baby spinach for some color and extra nutrients. And using a mixture of broth, milk, and cream gives it a little added creamy goodness.”
