This delicious Italian-inspired risotto dish is the perfect comfort food to warm you up on a chilly day. Made with Italian chicken sausage, Arborio rice, and sweet peas, the dish is creamy, cheesy, and filling. Risotto is a classic Italian dish that is often made with Arborio rice, which is a short-grain rice that is high in starch content. Stirring the rice frequently and adding chicken broth slowly to the dish creates a creamy and chewy texture.

Instructions

1.In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2.Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
3.Add minced garlic and dried thyme, and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
4.Add Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the rice is lightly toasted, stirring frequently.
5.Pour in Chardonnay or other dry white wine, and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed into the rice.
6.Add 1 cup of chicken broth and cook, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has been absorbed into the rice.
7.Continue to add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the rice is tender and creamy. This should take about 25-30 minutes.
8.Add frozen sweet peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
9.Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
