Today I offer you a risotto that, in my opinion, is unmatched… Risotto with Stracciatella and Broccoli Rabe Cream. After making the broccoli rabe and stracciatella cream, I thought of combining it with a simple risotto and, believe me, it delighted all my guests. Tasty and fragrant, it will win you over at the first taste and make you look great. As with all risottos, the most important thing for its success is the choice of ingredients, so good broccoli rabe and especially the tops, not just leaves, good Carnaroli rice, and delicious stracciatella.
