Here we have creamy risotto with white wine, butter, parmesan, spinach, and sage. Topped with chicken & veggie meatballs, toasted pine nuts, lemon zest, and olive oil. As I make risotto all I hear in my head is Gordon Ramsay screaming ‘IT’S FOOKIN CRUNCHY’ (if you watch hells kitchen you know). They key to a perfect risotto is patience!

This one takes time for sure, but it is so worth it in the end! There is nothing more comforting than a big creamy bowl of risotto. Skip the meatball part of this recipe for a vegetatian dish.
