Question 1

Can I use regular rice instead of Arborio?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but you won’t get the same creamy texture. Arborio is best.

Question 2

Can I make this ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Risotto is best fresh, but you can reheat it with a splash of broth or milk.

Question 3

What’s the best cheese if I don’t have Parmesan?

Accepted Answer

Try Romano, Asiago, or even a little cream cheese for a twist.

Question 4

Can I freeze leftovers?

Accepted Answer

It’s not ideal, but it can be done. Reheat slowly with broth to revive it.
