  • About

A pink and green risotto that is so easy and flavorful that it’s one of our favorite ways to entertain. We’ve also been known to whip up a batch and reheat it as needed for an instant meal.

If you prefer a variation, add just prosciutto and peas and eliminate the porcini. The mushrooms enrich the flavor, but with just prosciutto and peas, the risotto is light and very fresh-tasting. The trick is to barely cook the peas—just heat them through.
