Creamy Risotto

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
 

  • 6 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 small shallots, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Carnaroli rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup mascarpone
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • Warm the stock in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a large stainless-steel skillet, combine the oil, butter and shallots; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the shallots are translucent, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, to toast, for 2 to 3 minutes; the rice will not take on any color.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, until it is almost completely absorbed.
  • Begin to add stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly, until it is almost completely absorbed; repeat until the rice is al dente, about 45 minutes. You may or may not need all the stock.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone and Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt, to taste.
  • Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, some freshly cracked black pepper and a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
