(BUDINO DI RISO CON PERE E LIMONE) Since this recipe contains no milk or egg, it has a lighter texture and fewer calories than standard rice pudding.
Ingredients:

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1. Combine rice and 2 cups water in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Drain if necessary. Let cool slightly.
