A Revised Take on Barefoot's Mushroom Risotto

So I tried my hand at Barefoot Contessa's wild mushroom risotto. Mine is more like the average woman's risotto, since Ina asks for ridiculous things such as the threads of saffron crocuses.

I substituted sausage for the pancetta and only used chicken broth, since I didn't have any white wine around to use / sip on :(

So one little hiccup while I was sauteing the shallots and sausage... I realized I only had about 2 servings of the arborio rice and not 6 like the recipe asked for. I already had too many onions and sausage, just didn't add all of the mushrooms. I wish it was the other way around.

It was hard to not nom right in while standing over all of the delicious smells.

Added a good helping of parmesan to the risotto off the heat and here is the final plating. Given the substitution, sans white wine and saffron threads, and iffy ratio of rice to other ingredients, this was uber tasty. I would suggest not adding too much salt or pepper, if any at all, because the broth already has so much flavor in it.
