Tip

This recipe was given to me by a dear Italian friend and I converted it to Thermi Speak

This mixture will thicken on standing but is a fairly runny style of risotto, which I prefer, and more common in the region of Italy from where the recipe originated

    Delicious. I added a small zucchini with the onion. Used 50g of wine instead of water - 320g. Used cream cheese instead of cream. Really tasty. Thank you for posting.

    Hi there.
    Firstly, thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated 🙏
    I’ve never actually tried to freeze it so I can’t say how it would go. My concern would be that the cream/ lemon juice may split. In which case I would freeze it without these ingredients and add later..?
    Let me know how it goes...?

    Very yummy! I used triple smoked ham which gave it lots of flavour. It was devoured.

    This Creamy Carbonara risotto is delish !!!

    I used 270g water and 50g white wine vinegar, also used a mix of chorizo and bacon, instead of ham.

    It's my go to base recipe.

    So yummy! My 4yo and 1yo eat a huge bowl every time I cook this. I love that it is a "smaller" serving to most Thermomix recipes. Thank you for sharing Smile
