This recipe Rocks! I made it and it turned out perfect. Can't imagine having to stand at the stove and stir.

So easy and elegant! I have made this several times now and have changed the vegetables but everyone always loves it! The only suggestion is be careful what stock you are using because the salt will have to be adjusted.

This is a great basic recipe to start with for an "easy" risotto. The oven method is wonderful! I tweak the recipe by sauteing an onion in olive oil before adding the rice and stock. I also reduce the pepper by half (with all the cheese and onion, it's much too strong with a full teaspoon, reduce the salt a bit because of the saltiness from the cheese, and add different vegetables every time I make it. Mushrooms, asparagus, squash, etc...It's a great recipe to be creative with! You can't go wrong. This is a hit with everyone I make it for, and was even a great leftover lunch, which isn't always the case with long-preparation risotto.
I only bake it for 40 minutes, and I do find I need more than just one extra cup of stock, but I use a Cal Rose rice (similar to sushi rice, very starchy, so that might have something to do with it. Just use your judgment as far as achieving desired consistency.

perfect consistency, easy to make... the flavor though. wayyyyy too strong. I used powdered parmesan, so I' m not sure if that was the issue.

I've never been able to get risotto exactly right. This method was my answer to that. The results are consistent and delicious. I've been able to adapt this method to make different kinds of risotto. Sometimes I saute some shallots and a bit of garlic in olive oil before adding the rice. I saute the rice just as you would with normal risotto before adding the hot stock and putting it in the oven. I add par boiled asparagus and mushrooms along with the other ingredients during the final step. This is delcious.
