Creamy Mushroom Risotto with Spinach and Sausage

Step 1

Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Add the sliced onions. Cook until they begin to brown. Remove sausage from casings, and add them to the pan along with mushrooms.

Step 2

While this cooks, pour remaining oil in a large pan with dry risotto. Cook and stir for five minutes or until slightly toasted and transparent.

Step 3

Stir wine into risotto.

Step 4

As soon as the wine is absorbed, add about one cup of broth. As the broth is absorbed, continue to add more broth in increments of about 1/2-3/4 cup at a time, allowing each addition of broth to absorb before adding more. (No need to measure this!)

Step 5

Once all of the broth has been incorporated, stir in the heavy cream, parmesan, and spinach, along with the sausage and mushroom mixture. Top with grated parmesan and fresh spinach shreds if desired.
