This is by far the best risotto I've had yet. We don't like peppers so did what the other review had suggest added sun dried tomatos and didn't have asiago so used parm and it was great will def be making this again!!!

This was very good. So tasty. I followed recipe and it was great. Didn't have enough roasted pepper so I threw in some sun dried tomato. Excellent and so quick too. I will make this again.

This is a very good risotto, and we couldn't believe that we were able to do the whole thing in the microwave! Thanks for another good recipe, Dancer.
