Warm and comforting! I have used long grain rice in this also, just increased the liquid and cooking time, and also sometimes omit the cheese. The great thing about risotto is it's so adaptable!

WONDERFUL! This was my third time making risotto. It's my new favorite staple. This recipe was excellent. Easy and delicious. I have tried someone else's recipe where they cooked the mushrooms in with the risotto, but I think cooking them and setting them aside helps them keep their own flavor so that you can taste them on their own.

    This was really easy and delicious - my favorite kind of dish! I doubled the cheese and used mostly parmesan, and a little bit of mozzarella. Next time I will definitely double this recipe because I think it would be great reheated. Didn't have any leftovers this time!!

    Absolutely wonderful. I jazzed it up a bit by dicing up some bacon, frying it off, then using some of the bacon fat to cook the mushrooms (I added the diced bacon to the risotto when I added the mushrooms). I did need more liquid than the recipe called for, but I usually do. This was quite easy to prepare and the taste was simply delicious. I'll definitely make it again.

    I have never made risotto before, but the beautiful picture drew me to this recipe. I read the reviews and added bacon, basil and used a combo of mozarella an romano cheese. This is a dish that I would be proud to serve to guests. I am glad I found this tasty recipe!
