The World of Isibisi

Why use Carnaroli rice to make a risotto instead of arborio?

RISI E BISI (rice and peas).

This traditional Venetian dish is tastiest in springtime when peas are fresh and plentiful.
It’s not a really risotto but a thick soup.
Crispy bacon slices add a fabulous crunch to risi e bisi.

Traditional recipe: How to cook dry lasagna sheets. 

This is the basis for preparing any type of italian risotto.

This is a thick and creamy soup with potato and broccoli without cream but with a light besciamella (isiBisi gluten free dough mix flour and milk)
Philadelphia just adds a little touch of flavor.

I usually prefer to use Swiss Brown mushrooms because they have more flavour than plain white mushrooms.

Use any long or short shape of pasta. I have a preference for fettuccine for creamy pastas because there’s more surface area for the creamy sauce to cling to!

Treat your family to an authentic Italian pasta dish that tastes like summer!
