Risotto With Italian Sausage

Submitted by taratee

"This is a very filling, one-pot meal that I love to make for a chilly night's supper. You may use sweet or hot sausage and please use the good parm, not the processed stuff in a shaker container. Also, use fresh parsley, NOT DRIED. There are few ingredients in this recipe which should tell you that they really need to be quality ones."

This was a very easy recipe. I used turkey sweet italian sausage, and added a little saffron for color. Made for PAC Fall 2012
