Creamy.
Cheesy.
Garlicky.
Perfect!
This dish was deeply satisfying.
Luxurious and totally indulgent!
A hit with the entire family!
And the best bit…
It was so simple and easy to make!
Cook Arborio rice in chicken or vegetable or stock.
Cook spinach until tender and wilted. Chop coarsely.
Cook onion and garlic in some butter.
Add rice, spinach, cheese, cream and season!
And there you have it!
The ultimate comfort food!!!
I can’t wait to see the creative interpretations of this week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe by the group members!

This was a big hit in our house too, I think it’s a lot to do with the creaminess and cheesiness of the sauce and not so much the spinach :-).

Indulgent definitely seems to sum it up. We really enjoyed this one too, though not sure we will be making it too often.
