Risotto gets a bad wrap for being ‘difficult’, only because it asks for a little attention during the approximate 20 minutes that it’s cooking. Not a huge ask. Especially for how tasty it is. This warm arborio rice dish can be served a variety of ways, including a butternut squash version for fall, but this recipe is an easy spicy risotto. Mix in peas, onions, porcini mushrooms and a little Italian cheese and you are good to go {with some left overs}.
