Risotto cooking is a typical Italian preparation, exported and imitated all over the world. In Italy alone, in fact, the rice is slowly brought to cooking with the addition of broth; in the rest of the world, rice is boiled in water, just like pasta. Risotto cooking has also been applied to some types of pasta, which is called "risottata".

To prepare an excellent risotto with champagne, sauté the finely chopped onion with 20 grams (¾ oz) of butter in a saucepan. When it has become transparent, add the rice and toast it. Blend with 3/4 of the champagne and let it evaporate.

Wet the rice with a ladle of hot vegetable stock and cook by adding another liquid from time to time. When the risotto has almost cooked, add the remaining champagne and stir. Remove from the heat, add the remaining butter, the grated Parmesan and creamed.
