Some other tips:

  1. You cannot make risotto for one person; the minimum is two, and if you order it in a restaurant in Italy you must have a partner.

  2. When you cook risotto, mix it with a wooden spoon, but taste it with a metal spoon.

  3. Leftover risotto can be eaten saltato (which does not mean "salted"). What you do is heat some butter in a saute pan, add the risotto when the butter is hot, and mash the rice with a fork. Cook it three minutes on each side.

I like it!
