Notes
- Risotto is best served immediately as soon as it comes off the heat. I would recommend cooking it just before your dinner, so it can be enjoyed straight away.
- Leftover risotto can be turned into delicious arancini, I have a fantastic recipe for butternut squash arancini, which is made with leftover butternut squash risotto, but any other risotto, just like this one, can be turned into arancini too.
