I made this risotto for dinner tonight and it was AMAZING!!! Definately one of the easiest and certainly one of the tastiest. The cheese flavor was so intense and the rice was so creamy. Love your recipies Ina and I will be making this risotto again!! She never disappoints me!

Delicious! Super easy & fast. I did add, like so many other reviewers, a shallot & 3 garlic cloves. Perhaps it's not quite the same texture of regular risotto, but it's soooo good. Actually easier than "quick-fix" boxed risotto products. And you could add so many things to vary it up. Thanks Ina for another keeper!

So easy and so delicious!! My family isn't crazy about rice dishes, but they loved this one!! This was my first attempt at risotto and this will be the only way I will ever make it. I read some of the reviews that said it was a little bland, so I sauteed some scallions and garlic (about 3 sections of scallions and 2 cloves of garlic before mixing the broth and rice together. My family doesn't like peas, but I did have some broccoli on hand. It was a perfect combination. I also used 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan and 1/2 cup kraft grated parmesan to cut down on the saltiness. Thanks, Ina for another easy and delicious recipe!

Wonderful, easy recipe! Reminiscent of my favorite risotto recipe from Williams Sonoma - but so much easier. Delicious as written (I omitted the peas - but I love wine and salty cheese. I didn't make my own stock but swear by the Better than Bouillon paste for a good stock off the shelf.
The second time I made it - I added some minced garlic and thyme to the pot before putting it in the oven - then added in some lobster meat as it was almost done cooking on the stovetop - and it was amazing. As someone who looooves risotto but never has time to make it - this was a delightful treat!!!

I just made this but added sauteed mushrooms and onions along with the peas. It was delicious. My husband that this recipe rocked. I'll definitely pass this on to my risotto lover friends. It was so easy.

Ina you did it again! I love Risotto but don't always have the time to prepare it in the traditional way. This recipe satisfies both my craving and schedule. I followed the recipe as Ina prepared it and dinner was a breeze! My only substitute was pearl onions for the peas. I microwaved them slightly since they are larger than peas and I wanted them to be heated all the way through. Next time I'll try with peas or maybe both! Otherwise this recipe was right on the mark and delivered on a parmesean and creamy Risotto! Thanks Ina!

I just thought this was not good at all I have made different risottoes and have eaten other parmesan risotto and in this one the wine taste is overpowering and the other aspects are bland so this is a no for me.

I also started the recipe by sauteeing onions first and then coating the rice with with oil. Then I followed the rest of the recipe. I thought it would be too salty but it was just right. Very good and will be my new way until it gets too hot outside. Tip: Use and oven proof non-stick pot, the parmesean can be a real sticky mess!
