    Really tasty, but I would fry the bacon separately next time and add it towards the end rather than mixing it in with the sauce, to make it crispier.

    I tried this for the first time the other day, never done a risotto before, it is fantsatic. Really enjoyed it, froze batches without cheese and will keep on enjoying this one.

    Well, my result looked exactly like the picture and tasted great. But I have to say, the effort involved was really no less than making risotto the normal way. Admittedly, I had an issue with the quantity of liquid. I was cooking for 1 and dividing all the quantities by 4 never works properly, so I had to keep checking it and adding more liquid - so, basically the same as cooking it on the stove but you need oven gloves! The result was very tasty though, and the only thing I would do differently next time, would be to add some petit pois for the sweetness and colour.

    I found this a bit salty and a bit dry. Next time I'd use better quality rashers and a bit more liquid
