I see that this recipe got mostly 4 and 5 star reviews. However, the one time I made it, it came out totally gummy and like glue. This is probably due to the fact that I followed the recipe and added the extra two cups of water listed in the ingredients. So, that made a total of 6 cups of liquid, not counting the wine, to one cup of rice. And, it took over an hour to get all the liquid absorbed! That should have been a major clue that something was wrong. In checking other risotto recipes online, I could not find a single recipe that called for that much liquid in proportion to the rice. I do see in the directions to the recipe, that extra 2 cups of water is never mentioned. So I think that is an error on the ingredient list. I am sure that using just the one quart of chicken broth would make this a perfect lemon risotto and I will attempt it again. I would be curious to know if all of you who gave this 4 and 5 star reviews used that 2 cups of water or not.

Loved it! Added 1 can of artichoke hearts and skipped the sugar! Served with Anne Burrell's braised stuffed calamari! Wonderful!

This was absolutely fantastic, didn't change a thing. Served it along side grilled portabellos glazed with a lemon/balsamic vinaigrette and balsamic glazed vegetables.
this is true keeper

Loved it! Really lemony. My first time cooking risotto, and it came out just like in the picture!

My husband and I loved this recipe. I didn't use the lemon sections/sugar because I didn't have any, but used extra lemon juice. I also used parmesan/asiago/romano cheese instead, but it was amazing. I made it with the orange balsamic chicken. I would definitely make it again. It was easy to follow the directions.

I love lemons and adored this recipe. I made it exactly to the recipe but omited the onion because I'm allergic to them. I love serving it with fish; such a lucious creamy contrast to a firm tilapia. This is for lemon lovers only though.

My first time making risotto! Was very good! Doubled it-was not sure 1 cup of rice was going to be enough for 5 people-would have been plenty-took a long time to make -but was worth it! Love the lemon flavor-served with Giada's Broiled Tilapia with mustard chive sauce-great pairing!!

This was a great side to go with my grilled shrimp. I think next time I might add some more cheese to give it a little more flavor. I will for sure make this again.
