Delizioso!
When talking about Italian food, pasta is the first thing that comes to mind. Go a little further and your thoughts will find a warm, steamy dish of risotto.
Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked in broth and known for its creamy consistency; it’s the love child of rice and soup, basically. The different types of risotto you can find are endless—vegetable, chicken, mushroom, seafood, and more. Pair it with meat, vegetables, seafood and you will be in rice heaven.
