Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, cook 1/2 lb Italian sausage (casings removed) over medium, breaking it up, until browned, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in 1 cup arborio rice and cook for 1 minute until coated. Add 3 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and 1/2 cup grated parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
