- Blanch the broccoli briefly before adding it to the risotto to maintain its bright green color and crunch.
- Incorporate the heavy whipping cream towards the end to avoid curdling and to achieve a smooth, rich consistency.
- Grate the parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste with salt and pepper, tasting frequently as you cook the risotto.
