Ingredients

1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes in juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

3/4 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed

1 small onion, finely chopped

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 cup Arborio rice

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 bunch flat-leaf spinach (10 to 14 ounces), washed well, tough stems removed, chopped (about 7 cups)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (optional)

2 tablespoons butter

3 cups chicken broth or water

whichever you perfer

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, combine tomatoes (with their juice) and 3 cups chicken broth or water. ( I use chicken broth)

Bring just to a simmer; keep warm over low heat.

2. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up sausage with a spoon, until sausage is opaque and onion has softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Add rice; cook, stirring until well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring until absorbed, about 1 minute.

4. Add about 2 cups hot tomato mixture to rice; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes. Continue adding tomato mixture, 1 cup at a time, waiting for one cup to be absorbed before adding the next, stirring occasionally, until rice is creamy and just tender, about 25 minutes total (you may not have to use all the liquid).

5. Remove pan from heat. Stir in spinach, Parmesan, and butter; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately (risotto will thicken as it cools), and sprinkle with additional Parmesan, if desired.

You didn't have chicken broth listed as an ingredient and I just bought everything needed for this recipe except CHICKEN BROTH! Uh oh! Maybe you can update the recipe so dopes like me can be sure they have everything they need! I know you can use water but chicken broth sure tastes better! Thanks and I cant wait to try it tonight!
