List of 10 recipes using Mascarpone (lactose free)

Baby broad beans and peas with rice and mascarpone

Fresh spring vegetables (peas and young broad beans here) with white rice, made creamy at the last minute with a little mascarpone.

Brussels sprouts à la Lombarde

Brussels sprouts cooked on the side, strips of ham, tomato sauce and Mascarpone cheese.

Celery risotto

Imagine a risotto, deliciously creamy of course, but made with diced celery instead of rice. You follow the classic risotto preparation process, cooking gently and gradually stirring in stock, but at the end you add a little mascarpone, and you'll be amazed at the delicious result.

Creamy spinach à la Lombarde

For this recipe, spinach and potatoes are cooked separately, then assembled in a mascarpone-tomato sauce.

Leek and artichoke tart à la piémontaise

This is a quiche-style tart with a Piedmont-inspired twist: the filling is made with eggs, mascarpone (lighter than the usual cream) and Parmesan. The tart still has a moist texture to balance the puff-pastry crust, with the flavour of leeks and purple artichokes.

Risotto with zucchinis and cherry tomatoes

For this delicious, creamy risotto, diced zucchini and cherry tomatoes, cooked separately, are added at the end of cooking, and a mixture of Parmesan and mascarpone cheese is added to bind.

Like MaronSui's

Perhaps you've heard of "MaronSui's", those chestnut mousses you find in shops? Here's a much better homemade version, easy enough to make.

Tiramisu

Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.

Tiramisu balls

For this astonishingly quick and easy recipe, you form balls from sponge-cookie powder, mascarpone and coffee, and roll them in cocoa. The tiramisu taste is guaranteed.

Pea risotto "Mantecare"

This pea risotto recipe is finished with a typical Italian 'mantecare': mascarpone and Parmesan are incorporated at the end of cooking to make the dish incomparably smooth.
