"Is Arborio rice necessary for risotto? I did a little research online, and it seems as though Arborio rice is preferred for risotto (because it is short, plump, and starchy, making for creamy risotto), but not absolutely necessary. If you substitute a whole grain rice, you may need to cook it longer...."
