I use Arborio rice in this recipe because it is extra starchy and results in an extra creamy Risotto. Regular rice can be substituted, but you will not get the same texture. Arborio rice has a firm interior like long grain rice, while the exterior is soft and creamy like a short grain.

This sounds yummy! Something about mushrooms with spinach always sounds good. We eat Jasmine rice a lot but I think we'll give this rice a try...
I am a vegetarian and this looks wonderful and healthy! I am going to give it a whirl.
