I love risotto. I also love gnocchi. A few winters ago we planned to go to Prague with our buds Jim and Kristen. The morning we were to leave it dumped 18 inches on us and we had to cancel our trip. Instead we bummed around our little place in Hensctal, ate some spicy, BB (butt-burning) chili, rode sleds, and ate at our favorite Oriental restaurant. The next morning we decided to go to Lucerne, Switzerland, which was much closer than Prague and we could drive there for one night. That night it was raining and cold, and after walking around all day we stopped for dinner at this little Italian restaurant. The first thing they served us was a bubbly aperitif. I usually do not like bubbly alcohol drinks, but it made me warm inside and it was a perfect start to our dinner. I ordered gnocchi and I cannot think of gnocchi without thinking of that night. It was a great night.
The nice thing about risotto is I can actually make it, unlike gnocchi, which I will leave to the professionals. So here is a wonderful recipe from P-dub. I did not use wine in this, and I added my own variation of veggies. It was WONDERFUL!
