I'm a big Ina fan, but in my opinion this one wasn't one of her better ones. There is no substitute for the time required to make this dish well. Consistency was decent, but lacked the flavor of a carefully tended risotto. Guess I just don't like the shortcut method here...maybe it's just me.

Wow. This is as easy as she makes it look on TV and taste fantastic. Cooked perfectly. I didn't use homemade chicken stock or the best Parmesan cheese (pre-grated and I used Sauvignon Blanc (Kendall-Jackson and it turned out fantastic. I'm thinking I may add some seafood next time for a complete meal. Way to go Ina.

This was the best risotto EVER! I bought pinot grigio (like she mentioned and cooked it just as the recipe read, except for I only added 1/2 cup of parmesean cheese. The last time I made a risotto of Barefoot Contessa, it was really salty, and the only salty ingredients added were 33% less sodium broth and the paremesean cheese. I thought it needed a little more salt, but my husband liked it just the way it was. So easy and I even made it for friends, for the first time, which I NEVER do and we didn't have any leftovers. It was just that good.

Ok, I saw this today Feb. 18th. I went out and bought the wine. I used Barefoot Moscato and boxed chicken broth. This is probably one of the best I've ever eaten. My family all loved it. I will use it again, sooooooooooo easy baked in the oven. I will not make the 1 and 1/2 cups tho. We had enought for an army.

I watch Ina make this lovely dish this morning and promptly ran out to gather the ingredients to recreate this for my husband and myself. This recipe was very easy, the rice turned out perfect and when I added all the wine and cheese and butter this turned into a taste explosion!! I loved this recipe! This would be a big hit at a dinner party or just a casual dinner for two(plus leftovers!!.
