    The Italians are best known for their pasta dishes, but they can make a lovely rice dish or two, as well! This Sweet Potato Risotto is a delicious variant on a classic North Italian home recipe. It is such gourmet flavor in just a few easy steps. People in America may think of risotto as a dish for fine-dining restaurants, but it has its origins in comfort food cooking for the home. A big part of its appeal is that it makes for a highly variable template for most any flavor combination that you want.

     

    Most people also think making risotto is difficult. It certainly isn’t! I used to think so, too, before I finally decided to give it a try. In my opinion, the secret is in the splash of white wine. It brings in such an incredible flavor that people will thing you’ve hired a professional chef to do all the cooking for you!

    Quick tip: Make sure you use rice that is especially meant for risotto. Regular rice just won’t be the same.

    This Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti recipe gives you all of that wonderful, creamy Italian flavor with little hassle or time investment.  It is also very inexpensive to throw together. It’s a great kid-friendly recipe that would also do wonderfully at any more formal gathering.

    Italian cuisine is perhaps most famous for all of its red sauces and delicious tomato-based recipes, but those wonderful white sauce-based dishes shouldn’t be neglected.  In Italian restaurants, I’ve probably ordered chicken or seafood alfredo more than I have the usual spaghetti or lasagna (though I love those dishes, too).

    It really is amazing how easy it is to put a gourmet dish like this together–and how inexpensive!  Ingredient cost for this recipe is about $16 for a meal that makes six to eight servings.  (You’ll have to spend more if you don’t have any olive oil on hand, but you will have plenty left for future use.)  It really is hard to beat that for a really good meal.

    Quick tip: Instead of ziti you can use your favorite pasta.
