    Drain on paper towels. Serve hot — the mozzarella must flow!

Pro Tips

  • Cannabis butter in the risotto — during frying the internal temperature stays low enough for THC.
  • Risotto must be completely cooled — it won't hold shape if warm.
  • Classic fillings: Ragù (red, cone-shaped) or butter-Parmesan (round, bianco).
