• Risotto:
• 2 cups water

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/3 cup chopped shallots
• 2 cups Arborio rice or other short-grain rice
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded smoked Gouda cheese
• 5 cups chopped spinach (about 5 ounces)
• Mushrooms:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps (about 3 1/2 ounces)
• 2 cups sliced button mushrooms (about 1/2 pound)
• 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms (about 1/2 pound)
• 2 cups sliced oyster mushrooms (about 3 1/2 ounces)
• 1/3 cup chopped shallots
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1. To prepare risotto, combine water and broth; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup shallots; cover and cook 2 minutes. Add rice; cook 2 minutes, uncovered, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup wine; cook 30 seconds or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth mixture is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total). Stir in Gouda; cook just until melted. Stir in spinach; cook just until spinach is wilted.
2. To prepare mushrooms, heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and saute 5 minutes or until beginning to brown. Add 1/3 cup shallots, 1/4 cup wine, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic, and saute 1 minute or until wine is absorbed. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
3. Divide risotto evenly among 6 bowls; top with mushroom mixture, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
