Risotto with mushrooms and spinach
4 servings
40 minutes
Mushroom and spinach risotto is an exquisite Italian dish that combines the tenderness of creamy rice with the aroma of forest mushrooms and the freshness of spinach. This recipe is inspired by the traditions of northern Italy, where risotto holds a prestigious place in cuisine. The white wine added during cooking gives the dish a slight acidity, while grated cheese completes the flavor symphony with rich creaminess. Sage adds a refined spiciness, making risotto an ideal choice for a cozy dinner or romantic evening. It is served hot, best paired with a glass of white wine that enhances its flavor nuances.
