This was DEEElish! I accidentally ended up cooking the garlic and onions a little too long so they were carmelized - which turned out really good. I think it probably added a lot of flavor. I also added 3/4 cup cheese instead of 1/4 because we love cheese. Didn't add the egg at the end. Thanks so much for the recipe. It will be a keeper!

What a fantastic recipe! This is the nicest risotto recipe I have tried. Even my fussy 2 year old liked it. The only thing i added was some cooked chicken for a wee bit of Variety. ITs a keeper.

I made this risotto and my family says it was my best risotto yet ... Everyone raved about it. I followed the instructions except that I should've fried the bacon in a different pan and just used the bacon grease. Also we made bacon in the oven which we used as a garnish on every dish. AMAZING!

I didn't use any butter. Instead I put some bacon grease in when cooking the onion and garlic. And I added a poached egg and parsley to the top of the risotto when I served it. Yum!

I added a couple of handfuls of frozen peas a minute before serving. I think it adds an interesting texture and sweetness to the dish.

Good risotto for starters like me. I used the green onions as others suggested, and I will try it with pancetta also. I would recommend using a lean bacon as much of the appeal comes in having a little firmness in with the creaminess of the rice.

This was amazing. Very flavorful and really not that hard to make. My 8 year old could not get enough. I love reading everyone's recommendations for different variations and cannot wait to try it with shallots and pancetta next time.
