Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice and stir for 2-3 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted.
  2. Step 2: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Add 2 tbsp truffle oil and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add 4 cups warm broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. After 15-20 minutes, the rice should be tender but still slightly al dente.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and truffle shavings before serving.
