If you are thinking about the menu for December 25th and you are short of good ideas for pasta dishes, we recommend that you focus on our Christmas risottos. A proposal that goes out of the box of the pasta stuffed in broth, lasagna, cannelloni and the first gratin which are usually proposed to respect the tradition and go on the safe side.

But, speaking of choices with little margin for error, we assure you that these Christmas risottos are a real guarantee. Before choosing your favorite among the recipes you find in the gallery above, we advise you to let yourself be inspired by our advice. Here's how to turn the risotto into a Christmas dish that everyone likes.

The base

Christmas is an important holiday and on this occasion we always give ourselves something more. Like foie gras, caviar, the finest salmon, oysters and bottles set aside for special occasions. And rice. We choose high quality, following our purchase guide.

The eye

Even the eye wants its part. Especially on the most important occasions. What will divide Christmas risottos from traditional ones, therefore, will not only be the ingredients, but also the way in which we will present them on the plate. One of the most common aesthetic difficulties in risotto is a result that is visually too compact and homogeneous. To avoid it, make sure to give the right consistency to the recipe by following all the steps as indicated and to provide extra ingredients for decoration. If our dish is based on clams, for example, we will keep five or six aside for each plate to mount the final decoration. We will also have to take care of emulsifying them with oil and make sure they are tasty, maybe even slightly peppery. The greedy guests will leave with the first forkful from here and must be an explosion of taste! The same applies to pomegranate, bacon, mushrooms and cheeses.
