Method

  1. Brown the mushrooms in the oil over high heat in one layer in a 10-inch (25 cm) pan, 5 minutes, and set them aside with the thyme.
  2. Soften the onion in the same pan for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and rice and stir a minute. Add the wine, then the hot broth a ladle at a time for about 18 minutes, until creamy and just tender at the center.
  3. Fold the mushrooms back in and, off the heat, beat in the ricotta, yogurt and Parmesan until it slumps off a spoon; taste and salt if needed.
Chef’s tipSlumps off the spoon. Italians call it all’onda — wavy. If it stands up in a mound it is too dry; add a last splash of broth.
Make it twoDoubles in a wide pan; keep the broth hot in a second pan or the rice seizes each time you add it cold.
