Ingredients
- 150 grams Arborio rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 400 grams chopped tomatoes canned or fresh
- 750 ml vegetable stock kept warm
- 100 grams mascarpone cheese
- to taste Salt and pepper
- for garnish Basil leaves optional, fresh
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the rice with oil.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable stock to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding the next. This should take about 20-25 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but it was too tomatoey for my taste. Next time, I’ll cut back on the tomatoes.
I get what you’re saying! Maybe using less tomatoes would help balance it out. I didn’t find it too tomatoey myself, but everyone has their taste! 😊
Yum! I added some shrimp too for a little twist. Super delicious!
Shrimp? Wow, that sounds like a great addition! I never thought of that. Definitely gonna try it next time!
I mean, shrimp and risotto? That’s kinda weird, right? But hey, if you like it, all good for you I guess.
Didn’t like it at all. Who puts mascarpone in rice? Weird combo.
Super easy to make! I’m not a cook but this was so simple. Will make again! 👌
Glad to hear it was easy for you! Risotto can be tricky, but it sounds like you nailed it. 😊
It was okay, but my rice turned out a bit mushy. Not sure if I did it right.
This risotto is the best! So creamy and flavorful. My family devoured it!
I agree! This risotto is super creamy. I’m gonna try it myself this weekend!
