Creamy Carbonara Risotto
I love a good risotto, paired with a salad, it can make for the perfect meal. Unfortunately I don’t make it very often for one reason, it can be very time consuming. This being said we have now entered the age where Hazel loves to help in the kitchen. Meaning I can give her the daunting task of repeatedly string the risotto as it thickens, (of course with my supervision). I also attempting to make less separate meals for her, and when I whipped this up last week, she polished off her dish with little to no fuss. A huge win all around I think!
