Directions
Risotto With Pesto and Mascarpone, This is an easy risotto recipe that goes well with steak or chicken. To add a little more flavour you could saute some finely chopped onions at the start. Try to find a good quality mascarpone as you’ll get a much richer flavour. This recipe serves 4 as a side dish- if you are serving it as a main meal this recipe serves 2-3., This was great and pretty simple. The pesto and mascrapone really make it stand out! It was pretty rich though so small portions were necessary. The leftovers didn’t hold as well as the original., Decadent and delicious! I really liked this a lot. I made this exactly as directed and it came out perfectly. It would be fun to try it with different pestos too. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe! Made for Best Of 2011. Thanks Shuzbud! :

While the Rice Is Absorbing the Wine, Heat Your Chicken Stock This Can Be Done at an Earlier Stage and Kept Warm If You Prefer. Add the Chicken Stock 1/2 a Cup at a Time, Stirring Occasionally. Each Time, Make Sure the Stock Is Mostly Absorbed Before You Add More or It Will Be a Very Runny Risotto! the Non-Stick Pan Is Important For This Stage, So the Rice Doesn't Stick When the Stock Is Low. |
