This risotto is delicious and so easy. I only had 125g bacon and I added 100g chopped marinated artichoke hearts, but other than these small changes, I followed the recipe. I found it needed another 10 minutes in the oven. I will be making this again!

Works perfectly every time. A regular in our house.

Very easy and tastes lovely. There wasn't a huge amount of food there. Next time I'll definitely make it with extra veg on the side.

I personally liked this recipe but my son wouldn't even touch it. I'll just have to add risotto to the long list of foods this fussy little 4yr old won't eat!

I use a tin of chopped tomatoes and reduce the stock to 350ml. Really easy and tasty and if I have any leftover cooked chicken I add that too.

Brilliant recipe, have cooked it many times and it always comes out perfect. It does, however, take a little longer to cook than stated. Endless variations are possible. I leave out the tomatoes and cheese and add chorizo, chicken and either leeks, peas or artichoke hearts. Delicious!

Easy to do and very yummy I found it needed 30 mins in the oven and not the 18 shown

I've reviewed this before but we've had it so many times I wanted to add another! I don't think I've cooked risotto the classic way since discovering this recipe, and everyone loves it. Tried it tonight with unsmoked bacon and prefer the less salty taste of this. Also added half a leek in place of half the onion (more veg!) and only used 250g rice. Easily fed three adults. Oh, and definitely needs 25mins cooking time.

Oh my goodness, this is the best risotto I have ever tasted and soooo simple to make. I substituted the bacon for chorizo and the cherry tomatoes for baby plum tomatoes and it was divine!!!! The wine definitely adds to the flavour (I tipped in a full glass of dry white).

Forgot to rate before- definitely 5 stars!!

Didn't have white wine so added a splash of white wine vinegar instead. Also cooked it for a little longer than the recipe states. End dish was really tasty. Make sure you give it a really good stir when it comes out of the oven to break up the tomatoes and enrich the sauce. Went down a treat as a buffet dish for the family on Good Friday-everyone loved it and my brother (who doesn't really cook) even asked me for the recipe!

Really easy and tasty. I served 5 with this and also served it with sliced chicken breasts. I have also added sliced cooked sausages after cooking which went down very well.

My son doesn't like tomato so I made this using applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms, spring onions and asparagus. I didn't have any decent parmesan in the house so I used aged smoked cheddar instead. Yum! The entire batch only made enough for me and one perpetually 'starving' 14yo.

Did this just now and was in a hurry, it was easy and done to perfection in the 18 minutes which allowed me time to get ready to go out, perfect!

This was lovely and the portion size was just right for a family of 4 with two under 5s. The only comment I would make is that the timing seemed to be way out. I checked it after 30 mins and it was nowhere near done. It took an hour.

Just made this for the second time and LOVE it! Added a chopped leek and doubled the butter with the onion stage. Took 25mins in fan oven and was perfect with a green salad. Made two massive adult portions and a pretty big toddler portion. No leftovers!

I didn't have any bacon or cherry tomatoes so I used 3/4 tin of chopped tomatoes and chorizo slices chopped up - even though I cobble together the ingredients from the very back of my cupboard and the bottom of my fridge it still seemed to work out ok and was easy peasy. I served it up with trepidation as the kids sniffed at it suspciously, then took tentative mouse size nibbles - then a bigger bit, and a bit more - polished off the whole plate! A winning combo - easy, quick fairly healthy and the kids loved it!

We love a one-pot wonder and this leave-it-alone risotto is perfect.

This was the nicest risotto I've ever had - but the serves 4 served 2!

This is the first risotto I have made. It was so easy. All my family liked it, even my fussy youngest. Used mushrooms & peas instead of tomatoes. Will definately make again
