Easy and Yummy! I made as written except i cooked rice in chicken broth instead of water and small amount of bouillon. i also substituted onion for 1/4 t of onion powder. I will make this instead of buying the packaged rice side dishes from now on!

My roommate loved this cheesy goodness. Mixed 4 cups water with 2 bouillon cubes and set it aside. Fried half a (yellow sweet, that's all I had) onion (diced) and two crushed cloves of garlic. Mixed in the bouillon, doubled the pepper and added 1/4 cup more cheese (Parmesan, Romano, Asiago mix). Delicious! :)

Turned out great! Nice and creamy! I added mushrooms towards the end of the recipe just to add some ingredients. Thanks!

This was good. I would add more spice to it to give it more flavor. Very easy to make.

Delicious with some minor modifications. Used veggie broth and veggie bouillon powder, added a tablespoon of cold butter at the end for extra richness and squirted fresh lemon on top for some zing. This is a dish I will make many times. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I used the fresh green onions as well as 2 cloves of fresh garlic. I used 4 cups of chicken stock instead of the water and the chicken oxo. I also used actual Arborio instead of rice. I added the stock gradually instead of all at once and kept it at a gentle simmer. The end result was a very flavorful, creamy risotto dish that was very simple to make. Will be making this again!

Even though I was very tempted to try out everyone's suggestions I made this as is and it's better than I expected. It's creamier than I expected too, but not as creamy as I would have liked. I will definately make this again, but try some of the alterations.

i like others, thought that the risotto lacked a bit of taste and it is a very good starting recipe. So i doubled the amount of chicken bouillon granules. This came out to be very good, i ate it with some shrimps and it turned to be a very lovely meal.

I'm giving this one a 5*...because I am NOT expecting it to be true and "real" risotto. It's a "very easy Risotto", like immitation. I do this for a quick and easy side-dish. The fam loves it. I use Chicken broth instead of water and I always use fresh parmesan.

This rice was GREAT! My toddler ate it by the handful! I added just a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder. I'm sure it would have been just as wonderful without it! Thanks!

The real only thing I liked about this recipe was the Parmesan cheese. Besides that, I just used chicken broth to bulk it up, because it was just easier that way. Took quite a while to make (but that's expected, right?), and was very rich so I couldn't eat that much in one sitting.

Definitely nothing like risotto...just tasted like slightly flavored rice. You might as well make Rice-a-Roni.

I wish this wasn't called risotto - it doesn't use the correct rice or technique - this is not a short cut to risotto, it's a pilaf and it's not even that great. Look up a real risotto recipe and use that instead.

Based on other reviews, I tried to add some flavor to this basic recipe. I added 3 tablespoons of butter, two cloves of garlic and used white onion because that is all i had around. I also used chicken broth instead of water. I ended up using a mix of parmeasan and reggiano cheeses. It turned out great!

First time making risotto. I let it cook a little too long and was a bit dry. Making it this weekend for a dinner party as a side dish.

I add green pepper when browing the rice. Then I add italian seasoning and more salt and red pepper. Makes a big difference! But over all this is a good recipie to start with!
