Pasta + Risotto

As a proud Italian, I know my way around a bowl of pasta - and a pot of risotto for that matter! These are my favorite pasta and risotto recipes, including long pasta, short pasta, gnocchi, baked pasta, pasta sauces and even gluten free pasta. Some recipes include meat, while others are vegetarian and some even vegan!
