Risotto. A simple yet elegant dish, featured in many high
end Italian restaurants, and in cooking shows across the globe. It's an Italian
staple, that is extremely customizable and easy to make. The base of the recipe
remains the same, no matter what you decide to put into it. My personal favourite
is a bacon, smoked sausage, and corn Risotto. It is a little heavy on the salt,
but I can’t say no to smoked sausage AND bacon, it’s just not possible.
Now this is just the absolute best dish to have late at night, or if your just feeling puckish. And the best part is how easy it is to make, and I know from personal experience, is that when your in high school, the best food comes quick and easy. What do you think. Does this look good? What kind of things would you put in your risotto? Let me know down in the comments!

| Time to assemble our cast of heroes! |
 |
| A good rasher of bacon can never let you down |
 |
| I do love the smell of bacon sizzling |
 |
| Have to make sure with the rice that you keep it moving. If you leave it for even a minute, you can have rice stick to the bottom and burn! |
 |
| Ignore this awful picture of me, it was a requirement... |
 |
| The finished product. And it was excellent. |

This looks amazing, I would probably put the same things that you did because it seems like it would be very flavorful. Could this be a good meal for lunch also? since you said it would be great for dinner.
