Mushroom Risotto is my new make-at-home culinary obsession. (Much to my mushroom-hating husband's dismay.)
Once you make this dish, you're never going to order risotto in restaurants again. There's no need to when you can make it better at home.
Why is Mushroom Risotto the book-inspired recipe for Ghoster?
Well, this is awkward. I can't tell you why Mushroom Risotto is the book-inspired recipe for Ghoster. The inspiration for this dish...

I'm feeling all the vegetarian vibes with these Veggie Soba Noodle Bowls. I thought I had a handle on quick, delicious dishes with my brie mac and cheese and mushroom thyme pasta, both of which use traditional pasta and cook up in about 20 minutes.

Ratatouille Pasta is the rescue recipe for anyone whose vegetable garden is still in zucchini and tomato overload. *raises hand* This is the first year that Mr. Tart and I have managed to successfully grow our own vegetables. We've been in the Cottage for five years now, and we've completely failed at growing food for three of those. However, since quarantine's forced us to spend a LOT more time at home, we've been able to properly tend...
