    Made this in a cookery class, very simple and easy to make! It took longer washing up than making the risotto! I made it with Pancetta, which worked just as well. As others say could do with a little longer, 25-28 minutes, but overall fantastic recipe, everyone loved it!

    Really nice - used normal rice as I'd run out of risotto. Worked fine added a bit of Umami to add a bit of zing.

    Delicious! Really simple and tastes just like one that you stand over the hob for. I found it took longer to cook also. I added some mushrooms before I put it in the oven and they were perfect. Loved it! I think it was generous for two people, but probably wouldn't stretch to 4 adults.

    Well this one had a mixed reaction in my house. I loved it. Quick and simple and very tasty. My other half however said he didn't like it. He thought it tasted too much of cheese and didn't finish it! He never leaves food!

    Like most people, this just didn't cook in 25mins in the oven. After leaving it in for 40 mins and seeing it was still under-cooked, I put in on the stove for another 10 mins to finish it off. I added crushed chillies, garlic and at the very end stirred in a couple tablespoons of low-fat cream cheese. That really did the trick! The cream-cheese made it much tastier and gave it a slight creamy kick. Can't rate this higher than 2 as the recipe needs a lot of adapting and just doesn't cook as quick as it said.

    Absolutely delicious! I made this last night for my partner and I and will definitely be making it on a regular basis. As we are both following the Slimming World diet I did not add any butter, oil or wine and it was still creamy and yummy. I softened the onion in a little water for 4 minutes in the microwave. I could also have used Frylight if I had wanted. I added mushrooms and peas and next time may use chicken in place of the bacon or as well as - it would still be perfect for Slimming World. The only Syn value in the whole recipe was a negligible amount from the stock cube. It tasted like a full fat restaurant dish and, yes, we ate it all!!

    Love the no stir element. I added some chorizo in with the bacon, and grated and diced courgette (attempt to get veg into self, hubby and kids). Great to adapt and more veg / other meat whilst knowing that the baking method really works. Hubby who "doesn't like risotto" had seconds and thirds!

    Absolutely love this recipe, use it time and time again. I'm a student and this is so easy, quick and cheap! I mix it up a lot of the time, adding mushrooms, peas, sweetcorn or peppers etc. Can't praise it enough.
