Risotto

[AvidHiker]

Hello everyone,

Even though I do not particularly care for parmesian cheese I have many a risotto with it. I was interested to know if anyone uses any other kind of cheese for risotto. I have seen some recipies that use cheddar for fish risotto, but I was hoping to find a cheese that goes well with my mushroom risotto or my butternut squash risotto.

I prefer a more mild cheese for my cooking. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom

You didn't state if you use fresh grated or the canned sawdust from the store. The sawdust is a turn-off for many.
Of course you can used any kind of cheese you want depending on what you are serving it with. You can even omit the cheese. there are plenty of recipes out there that don't use cheese.
I also like to use Pecorino Romano or an Italian blend of various cheese that I grate - Asigao, provolone, fontinella, etc.
