Risotto-Style Farro with Porcini and Pecorino

Cookbook author Domenica Marchetti was introduced to farro years ago at a wonderful restaurant in Lucca, where it was used in a hearty soup with beans. The grain’s appealing chewy-tender texture and earthy flavor also make it perfect for this risotto-style dish.
