They were very tasty. I saw a lot of different recipes would put mozzarella and/or a meat sauce in the middle so I diced up some fresh mozzarella and ground some hot Italian sausage and added some of the marinara sauce but kept it very thick. Used 1/4 cup of the risotto added a little bit of the meat sauce added the cube of mozzarella wrapped the risotto around the meat/cheese then breaded it. It was excellent all the way around. A lot of work but a really fun Sunday family activity. Will definitely make again.
