    Love the method to make this - so much easier not having to constantly stir it.

    LOVE this recipe! Im a risotto fan but my son is dairy intolerance and risotto without parmesan always sounds so tasteless - not this recipe. We ate this without the parmesan added and it was still lovely. Like a lot of others, I found it needed longer in the oven but unlike the others, I found it fed 4 comfortably and with left overs!

    Loved it! I made this recipe for my family but I didn't have risotto rice so I kind of made it up! Other than that I followed the recipe, it was lush! x :)

    This recipe is amazing! After reading reviews, I did 1.5 of what the recipe called for - so 450g of rice, 1l and 50ml of stock, and a whole glass of wine. I cooked it for about 40 mins at 180C and it was sooo good! It fed 4 adults comfortably and we had a bit left over for lunch the next day! I also missed out the bacon and used onions, garlic, yellow courgette (we had a garden glut!), mushrooms and peas instead - everyone loved it! Definitely don't need meat in this, just lots of veggies and parmesan! It reheats beautifully as well.

    Delicious! I use left overs from a ham joint instead of bacon.

    How simple! I did it with the optional white wine and good quality cherry tomatoes. Even though that I added the parmesan before it went into the oven (curtsey of my girlfriend that was doing the map reading), it still tasted heavenly.

    Great, easy recipe, that works well for all the family. My son has a gluten free, dairy free diet and this works with his sunflower spread instead of butter and gluten free stock cubes. I have also made it with chicken instead of the bacon and red peppers instead of the cherry tomatoes. It's easy to adapt to what you have in your fridge!

    Made this with chicken instead of bacon, and didn't use the parmesan or white wine. Stirred in some low fat cheddar just before serving. This recipe is delicious! And so quick and easy to make. Took a bit longer than the 18 minutes to cook, somewhere between 25-30 minutes but was worth the wait!

    Fantastic recipe, my husband and I easily eat it between the 2 of us though. I use basmati rice because I usually have it in and follow the recipe and cooking times exactly for my fan oven and it works every time. Dead easy.

    I made it with chorizo as I forgot to buy bacon and it worked really well. I didn't add the butter to reduce the fat content a bit as the chorizo obviously gave it enough fat and I added some mushrooms with the onion. Made half quantity for 2 people and shared it with my 12 year old daughter, there was plenty, very filling and we loved it! Will make again with bacon if I remember to buy it next time!

    I love oven baked risottos, they work so well, and this one is yummy! Have made is many times for friends and family, and it always goes down well. Last night I added some baby asparagus - finely chopped stalks when in with the onions, and the heads went in with the tomatoes - made a nice change.
