Risotto al pomodoro and mushrooms

Tomato risotto has always been a fight in our family.

Personally not a big fan of it due to nursery's memories but Francesca totally loves it and always trying to convince our mother to cook it. So she was doing once mushrooms risotto and once with tomato sugo. No fights- everyone happy. Mothers should be hired for their high diplomacy skills.

So today the risotto of compromise is here to celebrate the real love of sisterhood and no more fights!
