Arancini are crisp on the outside with a creamy, cheesy center. Children and adults love these classic Italian rice balls. They such a treat fresh off the stove, stuffed with glorious gooey cheese.

What is your all time FAVORITE 😋 Italian recipe?
Jasmine?..wrong.
I use my air fryer for healthier eating. How would I bake this in the oven or air fryer??
What oil do you use?
I’m sorry was that LONG GRAIN WHITE JASMINE RICE…. WRONG! It’s made with Arborio. Please stop making Italian food the wrong way…. It’s become all to common.
Thanks for sharing I tasted this from an Italian friend and it was so delicious definitely want to try this ❤️❤️❤️
Making these for dinner
Lovely recipe , but definitely not arancini , just call them rice balls
Like it.Thanks for sharing.
recipe?:o where can i find it!
Can i use any other meat instead of ham?
Wow! That looks tremendous. Giving it a go tonight.
Ho visto il video e mi è piaciuto molto e la tua allegria 😄 è molto contagiosa e i tuoi sciocchi delle dita per far apparire un altro oggetto è molto divertente ed allegro ☺. Vai avanti così la tua allegria 😄 è il motore dei tuoi video 📹 che mi piacciono tanto. Grazie per la ricetta e la farò per poi ti dirò come mi è venuta. Ciao 🖐️ da Lida 🙂 🙃 😗 😘 da Livorno 😘 😁 🌈 🌈 🌈
Yummy
Miss Nathasia, can you please share to us how to make a dip?
these look sooo good !! a little bit labor intensive, but probably easier than ravioli or tortellini. we used to spend all day sunday making ravioli when i was a kid (yes, i am italian). i think i still have my grandmother's ravioli cutter somewhere. i only became aware of arancini just recently and i am dying to try it. are there other meat options from ham ? like salami or perhaps thickly sliced (cubed/diced) pancetta ?
Brilliant Natasha.And love your enthusiasm. And, and, and,,,just like me you sprinkle salt on fried food. I thought I was breaking some cuisine rule by doing so. But you confirmed my intuition…and taste!!!
Just used your recipe. Came out super good
Jasmine rice?!?! Fail!
Very different take on Sicilian Arrancini
Yum my favorite! Making these as soon as I get mozzarella!
can i do away with the dry white wine?
Jesus can change your life ❤️✝️
Efficient, professional narrative on how to make this recipe…well done
Excellent

That’s not how you make arrancini
Those look so delicious! Yummy! I love watching you! You are so funny! You make cooking fun.
Madremia!🤌Not Italian dish 🥱
These are super popular in the Philippines! I became a rockstar!
Hi Natasha! Thank you for the amazing recipe! I am wondering why the cheese doesn’t melt? I’ve left it long enough in the oil. Does cheese type affect that? I have low moisture mozzarella chess
Long grain rice?? Idts…
Where is the marinara recipe
Rail charmer
Real charmer
Can we frozen those ball?
Do you have a recipe for hush puppies?
Long grain jasmine rice? What?
Can the balls be made a day ahead, refrigerated, and then breaded and fried right before serving?
Also what can I use as a substitute for white wine? Thank you!
Wow thanking chef ma'am
I never heard of these til today at our Festa Italiana. Can't wait to try.
