  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage (453.6 grams)

  • 1/2 cup white wine see recommendations in the post (118.3 ml)
  • 9 ounces baby spinach (255.1 grams)

Instructions

  • Add the tomatoes and chicken broth to a stock pot. Put the stock pot over medium-low heat and cover. When it comes to a boil turn the heat low, stirring occasionally.

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, break up the sausage and let it brown. Continue cooking until the sausage is no longer pink.

  • Add the Arborio rice and cook for about a minute. Turn the heat to medium-low and add the wine. Stir and allow the arborio rice to soak up the wine.

  • Once the wine is absorbed, add 2 cups of the tomato mixture. Stir and allow the rice to absorb it. This will take a bit of time, continue to stir occasionally as the rice absorbs the mixture.
  • Continue adding the tomato mixture to the rice, one cup at a time, and allow the rice to cook and absorb the liquid. This will take approximately 30 minutes.
  • Once the rice is creamy and tender, remove it from the heat. (You may not need all the liquid.) Stir in the spinach a little at a time, letting it wilt. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
