Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8 as a first-course or side, 4 as main dish

Ingredients

1 pound spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/4 cups medium-grain white rice (such as blue rose)
4 to 5 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sauté sausage, onion and garlic in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until onion is tender, breaking up sausage with spoon, about 8 minutes. Add rice and stir 1 minute. Add 4 cups broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until broth is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Continue to simmer until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy, adding more broth 1/4 cup at a time and stirring frequently, about 6 minutes longer. Mix in 1/4 cup cheese and 1/4 cup parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Transfer risotto to large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parsley. Pass remaining 1 cup cheese separately.
