Ingredients

- 150 g risotto rice (Arborio/Carnaroli)
- 80 ml Prosecco
- 500 ml chicken soup (broth)
- 40 g n'duja

Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet, then add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the rice to the risotto and sauté it for about 5 minutes, until the grains become slightly translucent.
- Pour in the prosecco and stir until the alcohol has completely evaporated.
