Creamy Sausage Risotto image

I have fond memories of standing at the stove cooking this hearty Italian rice dish with my Nona. I've altered the recipe a bit to save on time, but it still delivers just as much home-cooked love.-Amanda Cable, Boxford, Massachusetts

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this risotto with vegetables instead of seafood. It was still very good, but I think it would be even better with seafood.
