This Risotto Con La Luganega is a quintessential Northern Italian dish. Hailing from the Lombardy region, it combines Arborio rice, a variety of short-grain rice known for its beautiful creamy texture, with Luganega, a succulent Italian sausage. The result is a luxuriously creamy risotto, rich in flavor and comforting to the core. The delicate balance of savory Luganega sausage, sharp Parmesan cheese, and aromatic onion creates a symphony of flavors that will transport you straight to an Italian Nonna's kitchen.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salt (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)
Parmesan Cheese (1 cup, freshly grated)
Unsalted Butter (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1, finely chopped)
Chicken Broth (6 cups)
White Wine (1 cup)
Arborio Rice (1 1/2 cups)
Luganega Sausage (1 pound, casing removed and crumbled)

Instructions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes.
Crumble in the Luganega sausage and cook until it is thoroughly browned, around 10 minutes.
Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring it gets well coated with the butter and rendered sausage fat.
Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until it is fully absorbed by the rice.
Begin to add the chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding more.
Continue this process for about 20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and al dente.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until well integrated.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot for the best experience.
