    Very Good
    Really tastey and creamy and seemed faster to make than other risottos. Added garlic and didn't use margarine, added a little Parmesan cheese at the end for a pop of flavor. Looking forward to trying this again with different additions. - 1/29/12

    Incredible!
    I added bell peppers (red & green) and garlic...made a fantastic side dish. My 15 year old who hates rice had seconds and then finished the bowl! - 10/19/10

    great basic risotto! I used garlic oil, a cup of reconstituted shiitake mushroom slices, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, substituted shallots for the onion. and stirred in about a quarter ounce of pecorino tartufo at the last minute. Truly decadent - and not bad for me!!! thanks, Venomforce! - 3/29/10
