Hey, lovely! With the weather cooling, I’ve been craving those yummy, warm comfort foods. I love a good risotto and a few years back when I met my boyfriend, he made the most amazing Mushroom Risotto, so I had him whip up a new version of one. This one is a little different than I’ve seen, it has peas and yummy spinach – which is always a great pairing with mushroom.
Read on for the yummy recipe and one small tip if you tend to get distracted while cooking as I do, and that is… don’t walk away from the Risotto, you do have to constantly stir it while slowing adding broth in order to get that perfect yummy risotto texture!
