Best and easiest risotto we have ever made. We have made it with just parmesan at times when that was all that we had and it is still delicious. We usually have to add more chicken broth than it calls for and we also usually add a bit of white wine for flavor. Thanks for posting!

I loved the ease and taste of this risotto. I didn't stir constantly and it still turned out fine! I added a bit more of the cheeses than indicated because I love cheese.

This was a recipe that we used at our Twisted Sister's Cookie Club Event. We loved it. Really good and we all gave it 5 stars! YUM.

I have to admit, I only used one cheese, but I really loved this recipe! It was very refreshing to make a risotto that doesn't require adding stock a 1/2 cup at a time. I did need to add more liquid (which is why this didn't get 5 stars) but I'm very happy with the process and will use it again. I added 1/2 cup of asparagus tips at the end instead of the chives. Everyone loved this dish. Thanks for posting!

My dinner guests took seconds on this one. I have reviewed many risotto recipes and really enjoyed this one. Very simple, but very flavorful.
