Traditional creamy risotto is a classic Italian dish that uses Arborio rice. It uses the starch from the rice to make it creamy and decadent. You should treat risotto rice like a sponge for great flavors. This is a traditional risotto that has a nice white wine and a tasty cheese. Try other ingredients in your risottos, such as a traditional mushroom risotto or creamy Italian saffron risotto.
