Lemon Risotto (Risotto al Limone)

This bright, creamy classic from the Piedmont region relies on the contrast between the richness of mascarpone and the sharp, floral lift of fresh citrus. By using a pale stock and avoiding any browning of the onions, you achieve a strikingly white, elegant finish. The texture is silky and fluid, capturing the refined yet comforting soul of Northern Italian home cooking.
