16 Delicious Risotto Recipes That Are Easier To Make Than You Think

Risotto is one of those dishes that's easy to make once you know how, despite its reputation for being difficult. Stock up on arborio or carnaroli rice, as using the right type of short-grained starchy rice is key to acing this dish. Our favorite recipes include asparagus risotto for the spring, butternut squash for the fall, and classic risotto, simple yet elegant any time of the year. We also have oven-baked risotto recipes for those times when you don’t want to stand at the stove stirring, and risotto made with farro as a delicious variation on the usual. Many of our vegetable risottos are made with chicken broth for depth of flavor but can be vegetarian if you use a good vegetable broth instead. 

Our collection of risotto recipes will guide you in creating this much-loved Italian dish. Once you get the technique down, you’ll be exploring the possibilities of this comforting meal and will be making it all the time.
