Risotto con Fagioli or Ham and White Bean Risotto
Fresh Fruit

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      To continue my mission to get everyone to love risotto, this is one of my favorites and an Italian classic. It will, as always, be on the creamy side without added butter. It is not necessary to stir risotto constantly... Just often!

Risotto con Fagioli or Prosciutto and White Bean Risotto    

Total time: 25 minutes
     'Risotto con Fagioli '  You could use any type of ham, but the salted, air cured Prosciutto-type is traditional.  You don't need very much to add a lot of flavor.
