Risotto castagne e mascarpone
Chestnut and Mascarpone risotto

Be careful: depending on the chestnuts you have, this recipe could take up to 12 hours. If using dried ones, you need to let them rest overnight to soak up the juice; if instead you got already moist or hydrated ones, as well as fresh ones this step is unnecessary.
