The Risotto with Barolo, a typical Piedmontese main course where Barolo is indeed one of the best wines with its dry and robust flavor giving the Risotto with Barolo a very decisive taste.
If you are a fan of simple yet full of flavor dishes, I recommend trying the Risotto with Barolo as soon as possible, and if you prefer, you can blend it at the end of cooking with some Piedmontese toma instead of Parmesan, and it will be truly amazing.
I also recommend trying the fennel risotto, another main course worth preparing, especially for its simplicity, just like the tomato risotto that even children enjoy.
Then if you like Piedmontese regional cuisine, you cannot not try the agnolotti or ravioli del plin, and the essential bagnet verd to accompany the mixed boiled meat and more.
In short, it is evident that my distant origins are Piedmontese, I love all these dishes and invite you to try them one by one.
