Parsnip Risotto Cacio E Pepe
- 1 lb Carnaroli Rice
- 1 diced shallot
- 1 c extra virgin olive oil
- 4 qt Grana Padano broth
- 1 c white wine
- 1 parsnip
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 qt cream
- 1 Tbsp coarse cracked Pepper
- 1 tsp salt

- 1 oz Alba Truffle
Method:
- In a pot, swat shallot and rice. Deglaze with white wine until au sec.
- Use hot Grana broth and slowly add to rice constantly stirring in more broth as the rice cooks. This creates the starchy/creamy texture.

- To finish risotto, add the parsnip puree, pecorino romano that is grated and a dab of butter.
- Coarse black pepper and shaved truffles completes this dish.
