Creamy Risotto is a classic Italian dish celebrated for its rich, velvety texture and comforting flavors. Made from Arborio rice, this dish achieves its signature creaminess by slowly stirring the rice with broth, which allows the starches to release. Common ingredients include onions, white wine, butter, Parmesan cheese, and a variety of optional add-ins such as mushrooms, seafood, or vegetables, making it highly adaptable. While risotto is a good source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, it can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of butter and cheese used. For a healthier version, olive oil can replace butter, and adding nutrient-dense ingredients like spinach or lean protein boosts its nutritional profile. A well-balanced portion of risotto offers a satisfying way to enjoy Italian cuisine in moderation.
