This risotto tasted pretty good, but wasn't as creamy as I expected. Unfortunately, my kids didn't like it at all and I thought this would be right up their alley. I used about a tablespoon and a half of butter instead of the olive oil and I ended up having to add more water a couple of times since it seemed to take longer to cook. And this was after reducing the heat quite a bit. But the instructions were well written and easy to follow.Reply
