Tried this on Thursday and love it. I made half quantity for us and found I needed a little bit more stock. Will definitely be having this again it was ? yummy
Ooh this looks good….going to try this minus the mushrooms ha ha
would it be OK to freeze?
Should be as long as you cool it as quickly as possible then make sure it is completely reheated and piping hot all the way through before you eat it.
Oh wow, I love risotto and Bolognese so what’s not to like. I’m definitely giving this a go x
This looks great I’ll cook next week when we have mince xx
