I found this at another web site and after making a few adjustments decided to post it. It is very simple and easy. You choose the type of mushrooms you would like to use. I used dried shiitake that had been reconstituted. Delicious!

Wonderful! I made this exactly as written, including the saffron, but I used extra virgin olive oil and a mixture of shiitakes and cremini mushrooms. I love risottos, even tho they require alot of babysitting, lol. Thanks Paula for an excellent risotto recipe that we will enjoy again. I made this with Chicken Breasts With Cheese and Prosciutto and Roasted Asparagus with Brown Butter and Pecorino and it's the best meal I've had during the tour to-date. Made for ZWT4.

    I hate to be the lone dissenter, but I thought this was good, just not fantastic. I think all the prior 5-star reviews raised my expectations too high. I made this exactly as stated, and yet I found it not as bursting with mushroom flavor as I wanted and not as creamy. I think next time I will add more stock (or some wine). But, yes, I will be making this again. Made for ZWT4.

    This was my first time making risotto and this recipe was easy and delicious! I used a mix of mushrooms (oyster, shiitake, and baby bells) and no saffron, because I didn't have any. Would definitely make again! Made for ZWT4.
