Can you use parboiled arborio rice to make risottto?

Yes, you can use parboiled arborio rice to make risotto, but it is not the traditional choice. Parboiling is a process where the rice is partially cooked before being dried. This makes it quicker to cook than regular arborio rice, but it can also make it less creamy. If you do choose to use parboiled arborio rice, be sure to reduce the cooking time by about 5 minutes.
