Mushroom Risotto
The classic Italian risotto, creamy and cheesy, finished with Mushrooms & Parmesan.
This Easy Mushroom Risotto is a quick and simple way to make restaurant-style risotto at home in minutes and in only one pan! Risotto takes a while to cook properly, and it requires your attention as well as your time. As it cooks, you need to stir the rice while adding hot stock -a ladleful at a time- and cook the rice slowly so that the stock is absorbed. In the end, finish it with cooked mushrooms, that lends an earthiness, and Parmesan- that elevate the flavors!
