Risotto and Rigatoni Carbonara: FROM SCRATCH

You read that correctly. For my Food and Culture class, we have an instructor named Christina who is the head chef of a place called Glass Ristorante known for its amazing food and atmosphere. For our first lesson she taught us how to make Risotto the Italian way. I must admit, cooking is a lot easier than it seems as long as you have the confidence to do it. The Risotto way good, but I made the mistake of adding a little too much Gorgonzola cheese.

Afterwards we learned how to make Carbonara sauce which is particularly simple and incredibly delicious. I have yet to order it at a restaurant for fear that I can simply make it now much better than they can.
