Risotto

for Beginners: A Wholesome and Delicious Italian Risotto

Ramen Carbonara uses technique rather than novelty to bridge two cuisines. The wheat density of fresh ramen holds emulsified fat differently from pasta, requiring precise timing and controlled heat. Rendered pancetta fat becomes the primary flavour carrier, while egg yolks and aged cheeses bind with noodle starch to form a sauce that stays fluid, glossy, and rich—without cream or excess seasoning.

This deconstructed savoury yule log reimagines the traditional Italian Christmas dessert as an appetiser by presenting it in individual portions rather than a rolled log. This fusion recipe combines classic Italian ingredients like robiola cheese, arugula, and sun-dried tomatoes with Nordic-inspired smoked salmon and cream cheese layers.

Indulge in this fun and flavourful dish that combines crispy chicken bites and pasta in a delicious sauce.
