This is awesome! Why would anyone make Risotto any other way? I added grated fresh pears with the cheese just for variation.

Easy. Tastes great. I don't normally rate recipes that I have changed, but I needed to this time. Instead of Vegetable broth I used chicken broth. I cooked chicken and mushrooms in butter and garlic, put peas in to add colour and added it with double the amount of cheese. My husband, that doesn't like chicken, loved it.

Really easy and tasty. I used Basmati rice, and I drained a tin of mushrooms and threw them in with the wine. Made this a couple of times now, and it's disappeared quickly.

Hooray for an easy way to make risotto!! The only thing I would do different next time is to add a bit more broth. We loved it!

I have never made or eaten risotto, so I have nothing to compare this to. Either way, I thought the texture and appearance turned out well. However, the predominant taste, to me, was onions and wine. When I looked at the recipe I thought there was quite a bit of both, but wanted to follow the recipe exactly being it was my first time making it. I think it would be better with less than half the onion and to subtitute some of the wine for more broth. I did cover it each time, when microwaving, so maybe the wine could not evaporate off enough. I don't know. I hate to waste food, but I don't know how to fix it, so it will more likely get tossed. The small box of risotto was very expensive to.

Awesome!!!! I have tried making risotto the regular way and it is so time consuming! This was PERFECT! I only added more parmesan cheese and used chicken broth (did not have vegetable broth).

Not only is this easy, but it is sooo good! Even better than I have had in restaurants. I didn't have wine so I used chicken bouillon dissolved in water, also left out the garlic. Had some edamame and added that..wonderful! Had it for lunch and dinner. Can't wait to make this for guests. Update!! Just made this for dinner with crab cakes..my hubby is not a big rice "fan". He had 2 helpings and made a "TV" dinner with the leftovers..that says a lot!

Great recipe. The only problem is that it took about 6 minutes longer, which required the addition of about 2 cups +/- of more broth (I used chicken broth). Also, I agree with a previous reviewer; it's best at the end, to check it every 2-3 minutes to make sure the amount of liquid is appropriate, and add the Parmesan cheese at the end! The flavor and texture was great, and much less work than traditional risotto.
