Today we’re making riso al forno. This Italian baked rice dish is made with arborio rice and the most delicious meat sauce along with tons of cheese. I hope you enjoy it!

This baked rice dish checks all the baked pasta boxes without being pasta. The print recipe and ingredients are in the description. As always, thanks for liking and sharing our videos. P. S. At around the 4 1/2 minute mark I know you think I said something there, but in reality, it was just a bad edit on my part. This video was 48 minutes of footage, you are only seeing the 14 minute finished product.
Made a vegan version of this for a dinner party tonight and it was a smash. Thank You
Why not just set aside 3 cups of sauce, so then you know what's left has to go in the bowl!!??
Made it, loved it. This one is a keeper. Thank you for all the effort of creating the recipe and video. From Australia.
I have a question @sipandfeast – thank you for the video, I have secured some scamorza here in the UK and am trying this tonight. When you say boil the rice for 8 minutes, do you mean – add it to boiling water, bring back to the boil, and THEN start the 8 minute timer? Or add it to the boiling water and start timing straight away, even if it isn't literally 'boiling' straight off? Thank you!
Interesting, my mum used to eat any left over bolognese sauce with rice and lemon juice.
Making this tonight, had to go with the smoked mozzarella, couldn't find the other. Looks great!! Wish me luck,
Call the wambulance……lmao that made me laugh so hard. Can’t wait to try this dish next weekend!
Lol …. Someone is clearly tired on stupid comments ….ignorant criticism …. Etc … cannot say I blame you … go ahead and tell them how you feel and what you think of their stupid comments … it’s your channel and I fully support it
I couldn't find smoked scamorza, so I used 1/2 smoked fontina, 1/2 provolone. Family loved it. Thank you for sharing this. I'm now subscribed.
Looks like another winner, can't wait to try.
Thanks guys for what looks to be very tasty.
Hey now, where's the B-roll!!?!????
Must be nice living on a different place where fresh herbs are readily available
As a butchers child, that is the way meat comes out of the grinder. It me, it signifies fresh. Not vacupacked. Looks so great. Wish I had access to a meat shop like yours!
Cool Pasta Dude
Amazing as always!
I'm trying to cut out processed/refined carbs from my diet, so this dish with whole grain rice will work great and looks delicious!
Made tonight. The cheese was really strong. If I made it again I’d go all Mozzarella or 1/2 n 1/2.
It made a lot too. Will be eating it for lunch all week.
Keep the vids coming.
2:54 Looks like a torpedo tail to me.
Gotta make this one
I worked in a meat market for years! The shape on top of the ground meat is a circle because they pull it from the grinder fresh and leave it in that shape. That is super great looking fresh ground beef! Love it!
Definitely going to try this one for the fam.
How many cans of butane do you go through? could have run natural gas into the house for that price.
Great video. You are great. But your shirt being so similar to the chair in the background is driving me nuts.
Add ground Italian sausage instead of/or with ground beef?
I enjoy your videos! 👍🏼👍🏼
This is just like Baked Maltese Rice .. same thing pretty much.
Hell James! I've been loving your channel and your family for awhile now, ❤️ and have taken your advice on many delicious recipes of yours! I took a shortcut when my local supermarket was closing out a particular instant mushroom risotto..( I'm single, cooking for one, so I bought the last two.) I adore mushrooms, but I was interested if you like them too, and what you might pair mushroom risotto with. Pork? Chicken? Alone like me? Lol it's delicious, I just don't eat it often. Any advice is graciously appreciated 😊
Interesting how in European (Italian, French, etc) cooking that rice typically isn't washed beforehand yet in East Asian countries (Japan, China, etc) your rice should always be washed before cooking.
The volcano meat😂😂
LOL I love so many things about your channel, but today my all time favorite thing is that your shirt matches your chair. Dude, you are a guy who loves your plaids! 😁
This looks delicious! I will definitely be making this soon.
Your nonna should be rolling in her grave over this
Food police all over the internet 🛜
Never never cook tomato anything in cast iron pans . It ruins the iron and creates bad flavors you will never get out
Yeah, I've never gone to a store and seen a mound of reverse titty meat. Must be a yankee thing.
Liuzzi's is 15 minutes from my house , they have a great cheese monger !
This is one of the best looking meal I've ever seen !!!! Thanks !
Excellent, yet again James. My little boy in 42, his little boy is 11.
Cool stuff getting your kid into Basketball camp. Thank you for providing that for your kid👍God forbid he grows up to be a Air Jordan collecting poser ✌️🇺🇸
Dont eat beef. Could i use ground pork? Love you guys!!
I grew up loving when my grandma made this during lent { meatless }.
Hi there from Sydney Australia, just cooked this dish with smoked cheddar as a substitute with regular provolone, that’s all I could find in the stores here, but it was delicious all the same, thanks for a wonderful recipe, it will become a favourite 😍👏👏👏🔥
I’m distracted by his shirt and the chair…
