I have a public announcement to make, guys: I freaking love risotto. Seriously, of all the things culinary school has introduced my tastebuds to so far, risotto is totally my fav.

So far we’ve made it twice at school and each time only confirmed my love. I am officially obsessed with risotto and want it/require it in my face 24/7.

It’s the super-creamy texture, guys. It just does me in and all self-control heads for the hills.

I’m sorry, I feel as though I could just discuss my new-found love for risotto at length throughout this entire post. We could all think up a ton of words to describe how awesome it is. And I MIGHT even share my stash of arborio rice with you so that you might experience the glorious risotto coma I’m currently hanging out in. Maybe.

So let’s dish about my new favorite way to spend thirty minutes FLAT on dinner. It’s parmesan risotto obviously. With no shortage of kale and plenty of little sausage slices all hanging out in ONE pot.

Mhmm. ♥

You’ll find this risotto under my personal favorite category called “How To Win at Weeknight Dinners.”

Your face and the contents of this entire pan. It was meant to be.

P.S!! If you’ve never made risotto before, don’t sweat it! I go over the method in detail in the recipe below—it’s easy-peasy, I promise!

And obviously so freaking good.

One-Pot Parmesan Risotto with Sausage + Kale

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 3
Calories 333kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup arborio rice
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 cups chicken broth divided
  • 1 cup diced kale leaves
  • 3 turkey or chicken sausage links sliced 1/4-in thick
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat butter until hot. Saute onion and garlic in butter until just tender. Stir in rice and stir occasionally until rice is evenly coated with butter (do not allow the rice to brown) Remove pan from heat and slowly whisk in white wine to deglaze pan.
  • Return rice to medium-high heat and cook stirring occasionally until liquid is absorbed. Pour 1/2 cup chicken broth into pan, and stir occasionally until liquid is absorbed, about 7 minutes. Continue adding chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time using the same method until all the chicken broth is used and rice is tender and creamy (this process should take about 15 minutes in total)
  • Stir kale, sausage slices, Parmesan, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter into risotto and gently heat through until sausage is warm and kale is wilted. Season risotto with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

Risotto is best if served immediately after made, as it will firm up and lose it's creaminess the longer it cools.

    I love love love risotto. It’s so good. But I’ve only made it a couple of times because my husband isn’t a big fan. Maybe I just haven’t found the right version for him! I’ll have to try this one. Especially when it’s quick and easy to make too!

    I absolutely adore risotto! It’s one of my favorite one-pot meals. So creamy and dreamy and great for using up whatever veggies I have left in the refrigerator. So all that’s really left to say is “what time should I arrive at your house for dinner tonight?”.

    So we have been eating a lot of white wine risotto lately except my husband can never remember what it is called so sometimes he asks me for “boozy rice” lol!
    I need to make this! It looks incredible!

    I order risotto out all the time but rarely make it at home because I’m the only one that LOVES it. I never realized how easy it was until I made it in culinary school for the first time, and I need my family to get on board! haha I love this 30 minute version with sausage and kale — and one pot! 🙂

    I have a secret, I’ve never eaten risotto before! I’ve always been scared to make it and I guess I’ve just never ordered it while out, but you have me craving some!! I especially want some with all that creamy parmesan on it!

    Your risotto looks perfect, Sarah! I was so addicted to risotto when I was pregnant with both of my kids and seriously made it twice a week – because carbs and cheese = yum! Love the kale and sausage in here and only 30 minutes? Heck yes! 🙂
