Risotto is truly a meal made with love. It’s not something you whip up when you’re short of time, even if the list of ingredients are shorter than most. To make perfect risotto takes a bit of TLC, some attention by the stove to get that mixture between creamy and al dente.

I absolutely love this mushroom risotto and make it all the time. The mushrooms add a bit of depth to the meal and the ingredients needed are pretty much always stocked in my pantry. I usually make a larger batch just so that I can make risotto patties the day after – they’re just as tasty as the risotto itself!

But that will be a recipe for another time, today, let’s focus on the risotto 😉
