25 minutes
Risotto with white mushrooms and truffle paste is an exquisite dish of Italian cuisine that delights with its harmony of flavors and delicate texture. The white mushrooms provide a rich, forest aroma, while the champignons add softness, and the truffle paste contributes noble earthy notes. Carnaroli rice, one of the best varieties for risotto, absorbs the broth becoming creamy yet retains a slight firmness. The tenderness of butter and the sharpness of parmesan create a velvety consistency, while white wine adds a subtle acidity. This dish is perfect for special occasions, served hot with a slight wave on the plate. It reveals the depth of Italian gastronomy, offering refined pleasure with every bite.
