Risotto 'alla Parmigiana' is probably the easiest and best loved risotto recipe, the father of all other risottos and the basis for most of them. There are many ways of making it: while the special ingredient here is obviously Parmigiano Reggiano, the famous hard cheese that gives creaminess, aroma and taste to the risotto, some other items can play an important role too. Try out this special version with egg yolks, for instance!

'Cacio & Pepe' traditionally refers to a Spaghetti dish typical of the Roman culinary culture: a generous pasta dish with plenty of savoury Pecorino (hard goat's) cheese and spicy ground black pepper.. but its Risotto version is equally as amazing! What may look like plain rice is actually an incredibly rich dish flavoured with lots of cheese and pepper.. Definitely a dish you must try!
