Yes, you can substitute arborio rice with other short-grain rice varieties like Carnaroli or Vialone Nano. As a general rule, the substitution ratio is 1:1, so one cup of arborio rice can be replaced with one cup of the alternative rice. Keep in mind that the cooking time and liquid absorption may vary slightly, so adjust accordingly and follow the instructions for the specific rice you’re using.
