BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Italian Food Recipe Question

This is the place to post questions about recipes at the Italian Food page.

Is there a way to make this a vegeterian dish. What would you use in place of the pork? Thanks

Use a can of Cannellini Beans (white kidney beans) instead of the pork. Add the Cannellini Beans after the rice.

What type of rice would I use to make risotto?

Aborio rice is the traditional rice. It is possible to use standard white rice, but the starch level is different.

Basic Risotto Recipe

Hi, I am wanting to make the Chicken stuffed pasta shells, however the recipe calls for 1/3 ricotta cheese and 2/3 mozzarella cheese. I'm not sure what the 1/3 is of or what the 2/3 is of, ie. how big should the ricotta and mozzarella be to start off with to then use 1/3 and 2/3s of. Thanks

What are the rest of the ingredients? Perhaps we can figure it out if you post the recipe you have.

Here's the recipe link:
Chicken Stuffed Pasta Shells

Given the amounts of the rest of the ingredients, I'm sure it is supposed to be 1/3 Cups ricotta, and 2/3 Cups mozzarella (that is how I usually make my stuffed shells)

Hi Michelle, that looks about right. Paula will have to correct the recipe.

Thanks, i'll go with cups :)
