Guest post by Mary Katherine of Mom Babble   I really love risotto. I love that it’s a carb. I love that it’s affordable. And I love that it seems to grow as you cook it like one of those Dollar Tree Sponge Animals. It’s also rice…but so much more impressive.  “I’m making rice for dinner.” No thanks. “I’m making risotto for dinner.” Heck yah! I’ll be right over!  So tonight I’m excited to share my absolute favorite risotto recipe. It’s fresh, flavorful, and well..it’s not exactly a dry dish.  That’s right–bust out the white wine, ladies–it’s time to cook! Risotto Margherita Serves 3-4. Unless your husband eats like mine.   You’ll need: - I bag of Virgo Arborio rice - 1 leek - Fresh basil - 1 box of chicken stock - 1 small tub of cherry/grape tomatoes - 1 tub
