To start the week off on a good night (since I know Monday is the toughest day of the week for many of us) I have decided to share one of my personal favorite recipes.  After a long day at work, school, or whatever you do, you deserve to treat yourself to a nice dinner.  Today's featured recipe is Antonello’s Arrabbiata Risotto with Sausage and Ricotta Cheese! Does that not look amazing! Honestly could make this recipe everyday if it was my only choice.  It easy, cheap, and tastes as if it came from an authentic, four-star Italian Restaurant (well...it is inspired from a top-notch Italian restaurant). Enjoy!
