Risotto With Pesto and Mascarpone image

This is an easy risotto recipe that goes well with steak or chicken. To add a little more flavour you could saute some finely chopped onions at the start. Try to find a good quality mascarpone as you'll get a much richer flavour. This recipe serves 4 as a side dish- if you are serving it as a main meal this recipe serves 2-3.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio risotto rice
4 1/4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
4 tablespoons pesto sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a non-stick pan.
  • Add the garlic and cook lightly for about a minute.
  • Over a low heat, add the rice and saute for a couple of minutes, stirring to make sure the rice is coated in butter.
  • Add the white wine and let it absorb.
  • While the rice is absorbing the wine, heat your chicken stock (this can be done at an earlier stage and kept warm if you prefer). Add the chicken stock 1/2 a cup at a time, stirring occasionally. Each time, make sure the stock is mostly absorbed before you add more or it will be a very runny risotto! The non-stick pan is important for this stage, so the rice doesn't stick when the stock is low.
  • When the stock is all absorbed, taste the risotto to make sure the rice is tender (if not, add another 1/4 cup of stock).
  • Then stir in the mascarpone and pesto. Stir until completely mixed in.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my risotto, but it turned out mushy and bland. The pesto and mascarpone didn't help much either. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The risotto was undercooked and the pesto and mascarpone were clumpy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, but the pesto and mascarpone didn't add much flavor. I would recommend adding more pesto and mascarpone next time, or using a different type of pesto altogether.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the pesto and mascarpone added a nice touch of richness. I would recommend using less mascarpone next time, or omitting it altogether.

I was a little skeptical about using mascarpone in a risotto, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. The cheese added a lovely creaminess to the dish without overpowering the other flavors. I will definitely be using this recipe again.
