I made this tonight and my family loved it! I cut back on the salt by about 1/2 t. It was as good as anything I've had in a restaurant.

I didn't use any saffron and it was still wonderful! It was perfectly sweet and savory. My neighbors loved it and came back for seconds.

I absolutely love this recipe and the leftovers are even more delicious. I leave out the pancetta because I'm not the biggest fan of it and have used vegetable stock if I've forgotten the chicken stock.

Since we avoid alcohol, I replaced the wine with stock. Also, we are on a low fat diet, so I used light margarine. This dish turned out nice, but I felt that it needed a little nutmeg. I think it is five stars, but my wife and youngest daughter said was a four.

Made this as a side dish with a baked chicken. Everyone loved it even my carb conscious husband! I recommend using homemade stock, the flavor really makes a difference in the risotto. A keeper indeed!

This is one of the first recipes I tried when I purchased Ina's Family Style Cookbook. The risotto is so amazing! Creamy, salty and so comforting! It is my stand-by when entertaining girlfriends for lunch in the Fall. I've had good luck making it for my vegetarian friends too. I left out the pancetta and used vegetable broth. The salt may need to be adjusted a bit but it is almost as good prepared this way. Do follow the recipe the first time you make it though and you will be in heaven!

No need to use 6 tablespoons of butter. 1 is just fine to saute then I added 1 more at the end with squash & cheese. Also didn't use pancetta.

I watched Ina make it on her show, ran to the store to buy the ingredients. Of course forgot the pancetta...hate it when that happens! Used bacon instead, and the rest of the required ingredients. It was fabulous!
