  1. I'm so impressed with this recipe! It's different than other risotto recipes, but it is so delicious and creamy. It's also the easiest risotto I've ever made. Instead of 19 oz. tomatoes, I used a 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes and then added an extra 1/2 cup water.
     
  2. Delicious and so versatile and so quick to get on the table ! I added a stock cube and some diced zucchini. We all loved this.
     
  3. This is easy to do, but my rice was still a little crunchy after 25 minutes. I ususally use arborio rice for risotto, so maybe I used the wrong rice....I used long grain rice as specified in the recipe. The overall taste was good though! Thanks for posting!
     
  4. Easy to throw together and yummy. I used chicken stock instead of water. Thank you!
     
  5. I'm giving this 5 stars for 2 reasons. First, risotto doesn't get any easier than this. Super easy dish to make while doing other cooking. 2nd is the taste. It is tangy and cheesy. The combination of tomatoes with the cheese makes it. Next time, I'll be adding in the garlic! Thanks for posting!

  3. This was so good and so easy to throw together! I used 1 cup of chicken stock instead of water and 1 can of diced tomatoes with onions and garlic. Next time I might add just a little bit more stock to make the risotto a little creamier. My 6 year old son abdolutely loved it! I took the last of it today when I got home from work and he was so disappointed (even though he had some with his dinner)! He even likes it better than his favorite cheesy rice (Broccoli Au Grauten in the box).
     
  4. Wow! A two-step, two minute recipe and it's SO delicious! Although I confess to having added a few extra minutes by having added a few ingredients - 1 clove of chopped garlic, a cup of sliced mushrooms, and some basil and thyme. I also used white wine instead of water. I never pass up a chance to add a little wine. Great adaptable recipe and - even with my few additions - very quick to make. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Boomette!
     
  5. This was a wonderful side for the vege fajitas I made for dinner tonight. I used arborio rice instead of long grain because that is how I usually make risotto. Quite yummy; I can imagine this with many variations!
