I keep making and also tinkering with Melissa Clark's Creamy Corn Pasta with Basil and, spoiler alert, everyone is hotter in sunglasses, and everything is better grilled.

My usual salad eating has been a bit limited the past week because I had to have two wisdom teeth out. Yeah. Not particularly fun. So I did what any normal salad loving person would do: I made a risotto that's as salad-like as possible. Also, risotto is really the perfect thing to cook when you are stuck at home and slightly loopy because gentle, mindless stirring and slightly loopy go extremely well together.
I have made one small change to this recipe, it's an extremely minor one, once the risotto is almost done, when I'm at the point where I'm adding the minced herbs and the last ladleful of stock, I briefly add that last ladleful first to my blender and blitz it for 10-15 seconds as to unstick all of the bits of herbs that have stuck to the sides of the blender. It's a minor, minor change, it's probably just a symptom of me hating to waste fresh herbs and vegetables.
