Leek-and-Mascarpone Cheese Risotto
Leeks, golden saffron, a touch of lemon, and a few of the first basil leaves of spring make this a cheerful risotto. Mascarpone (mas-kar-POHN) is a buttery Italian triple-cream cheese found in many supermarkets and gourmet food shops. Regular cream cheese makes an acceptable, though not as rich, substitute.
