Instructions:

      • Stir in the nutritional yeast to add a cheesy and creamy texture to the risotto.
      • Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Truffle Infusion:
      • Drizzle the truffle oil over the risotto and gently fold it in to infuse the dish with a hint of decadence.
