Keep the vegetable stock hot in a separate pot.
Turn the rice in the pot over dry heat for 2 minutes.
Add the hot vegetable stock ladle by ladle and cook for 18 minutes.
Remove from the heat when the rice is al dente.
Add the ricotta, parmesan, and lemon zest, then stir for 2 minutes so the cheese does not split over high heat.
Rest the risotto for 3 minutes and serve while it is still flowing.
💡 Tip: Adding hot stock ladle by ladle opens the rice starch in a controlled way.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Grate lemon zest over the top and serve hot.
