Spinach risotto with fresh ricotta and hazelnuts
Gluten-Free Friendly, Soy-Free, Vegetarian
2 Servings, 630 Calories/Serving
35–45 Minutes
It’s a common misconception that, to be properly cooked, risotto must be stirred constantly, and the broth added only a little at a time. You can see for yourself once this dinner is ready. We add the broth all at once, then stir the rice often but not ceaselessly, and find it comes out wonderfully creamy and luscious. Wilted baby spinach and crunchy hazelnuts, plus lemon, fresh basil, and Parmesan, all transform the humble rice dish into something exceptional.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the liquid is almost completely absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
