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.

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.

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!

Easy to throw together and yummy. I used chicken stock instead of water. Thank you!

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!
