Cheesy Sausage Risotto

1. 1

   In a large pot, put the rice and 8 cups of water.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil, then add the peas.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Take the rice off the heat entirely and just let it sit with the cover on.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, cut up the sausages (we used scissors to do this easily and quickly) and fry them along with the onions and garlic.

6. 6

   Once the rice has been sitting for about 10 minutes, check to see if it is cooked and all the water absorbed.

7. 7

   If not you can reheat the water to boiling and let sit again for a few minutes -- 10 minutes is plenty for the rice we use but the amount of time or water needed may vary from brand to brand.

8. 8

   When everything is done, mix it all together along with the cheese and serve.
