Chili goes over rice better than pasta imo.

>>9920625
You're just an asspoop and you're wrong.

>>9920625
you have never eaten Risotto

>>9920653
This in a nutshell.

Some things are lovely with risotto, the same way some things are nicer with polenta. Braised pork, for instance, goes much nicer with polenta instead of pasta or rice. Risotto is comfort food, to me, and it can be enriched with simple flavors that get lost in pasta dishes. A risotto made with a fish stock or vegetable stock with take up those delicate flavors better than pasta.
In other words, you need to try more dishes before crapping out dumb statements like that.

>White Cheddar
>Bacon
>Risotto
You should try Risotto

The point of a risotto is just the right sogginess. It's a relatively hard rice porridge with the savoriness spread through, rather than a pasta dish with distinct flavor gradients between the sauce and the pasta.

I just realized some of those green onions are peas

>>9921039
aren't peas a common ingredient in risotto?

>>9921146
not sprinkled over the top like in the OP they aren't

>>9921146
more common than green onions that's for sure

>>9920625
happy birthday, you found a pic of rice mixed with stuff.
risotto is delicious and you wouldnt claim what you claim if you ever had a good one. it is not even close to being replacable by pasta, completely different things. just had a creamy and perfect pear risotto @ toscana, good luck trying that with noodles

>>9920625
That risotto looks way too dry. Pinterest assholes.....

Fuck you, OP.

How do you think we pronounce risotto?

>>9921290
>we
You mean the retard community? I dunno, how do you?

>>9921304
OP thinks Americans pronounce it wrong but I've never heard it said differently than in Italian

Have never heard that before in my life and I live in a German area

>>9920625
You should probably try risotto then you'll understand why.
I've treated risotto like pasta in the past.
Although it may lack the variety of shape pasta has risotto is much richer and much more savory flavor. a flavor which makes love to your taste buds.
Let me begin by showing you an example of just how much i've fucked around with the flavor or risotto.
>Pic Related
Ever heard of Alio e Olio, well one day i decided to combine that flavor with risotto and i must say.
Alio e Olio Risotto>The pasta version

>>9920625
This is a risotto I made which was based off Carbonara pasta.
In the sense where i served it with a sauce of beaten eggs.

While I've never tried a carbonara risotto, i'm positive it would be better than the pasta version.

>>9920625
This is a weirder one but the flavor is sort of reminiscent to bolognese.
I used tomato paste in the stock to get this sort of flavor.

Now im convinced if you served a regular bolognese sauce over risotto it would taste better than the pasta version.

>>9921337
Never heard that in my life. Maybe you've only talked to morons

>>9921332
riz-oh-toe

>>9920625
Here's a dish that wouldn't work nearly as well as a pasta.
This is a pistachio Risotto, and because risotto is a rice it can absorb flavors more than pasta can.

To make this dish I created a homemade pistachio paste, and I used beurre blanc instead of onions.
This is by far one of the best, and most original risotto's i've ever made.
Imagine the decadence of it. The saltiness, the sweetness, the nuttiness of pistachio captured in a risotto.

So when you compare risotto to pasta, here's what i want you to think about.
>1. Serve a plain risotto, and serve a plain pasta see which tastes better.
>2. Pasta relies on a sauce, where risotto doesn't need to
>3. Rice absorbs flavors better than noodles can
I think a risotto is far superior in flavor than a pasta is. Even homemade pastas with incredible sauces are inferior imo.

>>9921929
I like you, risottofag.

>>9922065
thanks friend. lemme know if you wanna join my discord server

>>9921337
that's how gordon ramsay says it, but he also pronounces basil and oregano wrong

>>9920625
nice OP, I hope you made this thread with the express purpose of being shit on, because if so, good job.

I don't even really like risotto very much and even I think you're retarded.

>>9921907
REEE zoat oh

bumping fo rthe love of risotto

So far nobody has posted a risotto dish that wouldn't be nicer as pasta. Try me.

>>9922074
What is the buttplug on your risotto?

>>9925376
Arancini is a fried risotto ball. Sort of. They're good though.

>>9924150
Shrimp with mushrooms and peas. That would suck dog's ass as a pasta.

>>9925494
that looks like it sucks dog ass

>>9925485
Thank you, I was a retard to not search the name of your pic.

>>9925542
Not my pic friend. I just know a good fried buttplug when I see one.

>>9925561
It would crumble and mush it wouldn't work at all.

You need at least a stable chicken tendie, or very firm corndog.

>>9924150
scamorza and radicchio
pumpkin
stracchino and rosemary
>pic related: radicchio (!= chicory)

>>9920625
You probably never had actual Risotto.
It requires a bit more effort than pasta to make but a good risotto is much better than pasta imho, unless we are talking about homemade pasta.
Also, the sauces and flavors you can put in a risotto are much different than those of a pasta dish.
For NYE I made a Prosecco, leek and sausage risotto, it was delicious but sadly i don't have any pics.

>>9921888
Whats the point of the egg? Means nothing in the recipe of bolognese

>>9925705
my egg was about to go old desu.
which is why i chose to use it.

>>9925494
Shrimps look boiled, would have preferred pan fried
You could also have turned some of the peas into cream to add a nice colour and taste
Did you use the heads of shrimps?

>>9920625
risotto also works better as a side dish for meat than pasta in terms of richness

>>9925825
Yeah I made a stock from the shells and heads to use for the rice. I added the shrimp for the last couple of minutes. Guess I can try sauteing them next time and have the fond add an extra depth of flavor.

>>9925789
And you also chose to fuck up your "risotto" by dropping a fucking fried egg on it. Brilliant.

>>9925976
Yeah the plating too has lot of room for improvement

>>9926041
I accepted one criticism but don't push it, faggot - I eat with my mouth not my eyes.

>>9926077
You probably also cook with your ass
Accept it, it looks like shit
Also you start eating with eyes, only a pleb would deny it

>>9925494
Angel hair and white sauce.

>>9920625
t. has never eaten risotto, just overcooked rice

You can't make a pasta dish with just red wine, just pumpkin or just saffron. You need a specific sauce to carry those kinds of ingredients to the pasta with the right texture, risotto already does that for you.

Risotto also comes in various shapes, sizes and textures.

>>9920625
PORCODIO QUELLO NON è RISOTTO AMERICANO BASTARDO. Thats not risotto sir.

i love risotto. I made some for my friends on new years. beetroot and pancetta, pour in a decent amount of wine and it goes this lovely deep red. Made a decent amount since it can get pretty rich, perfect for a little starter. Then when we came back home drunk it delicious cold. Truly the best,

>>9926007
you realize im better at you than risotto right. I hate to tell you this but anything you could come up with couldn't hold a candle to mine.
People who are good at things think outside of the box, you've probably never had an ounce of creativity in your life.

That risotto was a product of using what i had in the kitchen to create something. Stop talking down when I am above you dude.

>>9927205
Well said my friend, well said.
(PORCACCIA LA MADONNA)

>>9927345
pensa che porcherie tocca sentire. e sono pure capopartita in cucina

>>9927312
What a mess.

>>9924150
pasta mixed with pureed squash would be horrible.

>>9927669
you cant even explain why this is a mess.
its a professionally plated osso buco

>>9927312
looks like someone poured store bought gravy over some poorly stewed osso bucco

>>9928029
the only reason for that is the redwine i chose to use instead of white wine

>>9927312
I thought you said you were going to stop posting this, I've seen it like 5 times now

>>9928058
>it's bad but I made it bad on purpose
Okay then.

>>9928079
redwine isn't a bad substitute at all.
are you autistic?

>>9928100
Why are you posting pictures of stew in a risotto thread?

>>9928113
because its over risotto.

>>9928124
That's not risotto. It's stew.

>>9928142
all'onda look it up before you respond.
it's an osso buco served over risotto.
risotto should not be dry.

>>9928162
It should also not be stew.

>>9928166
how does that look like a stew to you idiot.
you eat poor risotto then.
if it's any dryer than this.it's wrong.

>>9927695
Goddamn, you risotto autist get some new pics, you faggot.

>>9928162
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU POSTING YOUR OSSO BUCCO IN EVERY THREAD

>>9928240
>>9928202
