I found this recipe in one of my mom's cookbooks that I was looking through yesterday, trying to figure out how to cook the acorn squash. I haven't had risotto for quite some time - probably over a year, so it was about time to give it another chance.
This dish was pretty good, although I should have chopped the basil a little more than I had. It was fairly tasty with the sun-dried tomatoes and all that cheese.
Here it is in the pan:
It certainly doesn't look very beautiful, does it? Maybe I should work a little more on the food's presentation?
I never would have thought to up sun-dried tomatoes in risotto. I'm going to try that next time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice pan.
