My first attempt at risotto and it was perfect, better than my fav restaurants! Only added 3 cups of broth and took longer than recipe said, but totally worth it! Used fat free half & half, and only half the amount of grated Parmesan, my attempt to save a few calories. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.

Great recipe!! I used soy milk instead of milk and cream and it worked great. Also, the rice I used was basmatti and for me it took only 2 cups of broth to cook the rice.

This was very good. I had never made Risotto before so I wanted to try it. The family really liked it.

Made as is. 3 starts due to a divided house on this one. My husband LOVED it saying it was one of the best things I've made. I think it's pretty bland. However, I enjoy rich food (i.e. Coopers Hawk Winery serves a Short Rib Risotto that is just amazing which is what I was kind of going for with this dish sans short ribs). My husband does not. Maybe that is the big difference between those that loves this recipe and those that don't.

I thought this was pretty terrible, actually. The heavy whipping cream made it waaayyyy too rich. Rich and bland... You might ask if that is possible, and I assure you that with this recipe, it is.

This risotto is just amazing! I replaced milk with almond milk, heavy cream with coconut milk and butter with vegetable shortening. Will definitely use this recipe again.

Perfetto! Insanely incredible recipe for all 4* palates. I made it with Cordon Bleu II. I highly recommend mellow side dishes to counter the bold and powerful tastes of such creamy, buttery, and rich dishes like the Bleu. Simple broccoli, asparagus, or peas are a great idea. This was incredible!

Delicious, I hate when people make changes, but you have to improvise at times...so, I only used one onion, chicken broth, no cream-substituted with 2% milk, added about cup and a half of chicken (chopped). It was amazing!!!!
