When you consider that you first need to roast a head of garlic for up to an hour in the oven all potential savings fly out the window. I have just seen the show and saw Ms. Lee place a SINGLE head of garlic into an otherwise empty oven. Now, can anyone calculate the cost of this roasted garlic? I am sure it adds immeasurably to the taste of the risotto dish. But to roast one garlic head in the oven for an hour? It is way cheaper to buy this in a jar unless you have other things to roast in the oven.

Having said that I hasten to add that I do enjoy the show. It provides me with many inspirational ideas for the next dinner.

Some may think this is tasty, and certainly inexpensive, but it is not risotto. No wine, no arborio, using watered-down chicken broth, and cr**y cheese from a can?

First time writing a review, but felt I just had to! This was very easy to make and not horribly time-consuming and my first time making risotto. Very tasty and buttery-tasting, without alot of butter. The roasted garlic was super-simple to make and we loved it! I used "sushi rice" since that was what I had on hand and it worked great since that is a sticky rice anyway. I agree....you shouldn't give a recipe a poor review if you change it!

My family loved this rice. It was easy to make even for a newbie!!!!! Since all 4 kids ate it, I'll probably make it once a week. . . .

I used regular rice as directed because I didn't have any short grain rice. I was a bit skeptical and it turned out terrible. Long grain rice just does not make a good risotto. The flavors were OK, the texture was terrible. I may try the combination of flavors with short grain rice in the future. Stay away from the long grain rice!

I happened to have a arborio rice on hand, so that's what I used. It was creamy and very flavorful. Definately a hit with the family.

The flavor was excellent, but the rice did not cook up to a soft texture. Perhaps using a short grain rice would be better.

This is an overall good recipe. I hate onions so I drained and added a can of italian diced tomates for some flavor. It was really good, and the Kraft parm cheese that I used tasted as good as any. I would make this again, especially because it's so easy and uses ingredients I usually have available in the house.
