Ditalini Risotto image

Rather than being cooked in salted water, the pasta is treated like risotto-simmered in stock and stirred until cooked and creamy-which gives it plenty of time to pick up meaty flavors.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons garlic oil (see Toasted Garlic-Beef Stock) or olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 pound ditalini or other short, tubular pasta
6 cups (or more) Toasted Garlic-Beef Stock
1/2 cup finely grated Pecorino, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
1 cup baby kale
1 cup baby mustard greens or other spicy greens
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, 12-18 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 8-10 minutes. Add ditalini and 2 cups stock and cook, stirring occasionally and adding remaining 4 cups stock 1 cup at a time as pasta absorbs liquid, until pasta is al dente and sauce loosens, 25-30 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup Pecorino and cook until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy. If sauce becomes too thick, add more stock until it's slightly runny again. Season pasta with salt. Divide among shallow bowls and top with kale, mustard greens, and more Pecorino. Sprinkle with pepper and drizzle with oil.

I'm not a big fan of risotto, but this recipe changed my mind. The ditalini pasta was a fun twist, and the asparagus added a nice touch of freshness. I will definitely be making this again.

This risotto was a disaster! The rice was overcooked and mushy, and the asparagus was limp and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be trying this one again.

Meh. I've had better risotto. The flavor was just okay, and the texture was a bit mushy. I don't think I'll be making this again.

This ditalini risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional herbs or spices. Otherwise, the texture was good and the asparagus was cooked nicely.

This risotto was absolutely delicious! I used homemade chicken broth and added a bit of chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. It was a hit with my family, and I'll definitely be making it again soon.

5 stars! I've never made risotto before, but this recipe made it seem like a breeze. The ditalini pasta was a fun twist on the traditional Arborio rice, and the lemony asparagus added a nice pop of freshness. Highly recommend!
