    My first ever attempt at a risotto and what a success!I added some peppers and mushrooms and it was lovely.Next time I will add a handfull of frozen peas too.I had mine in the oven for about 25 mins as at the time stated I didn't feel it was quite ready.It was just for two of us and there was enough to feed maybe one more adult but not 4,however we also had garlic bread which went really well.This will be another meal to add to our favourites.

    Really easy, really enjoyable, not too keen on tomatoes so missed them out and was still great!

    I thought this recipe sounded quite dull, so was pleasantly surprised at how extremely tasty it was, even without adding the wine, and with less parmesan than it said in the recipe. I used top quality dry cure back bacon, so that probably made a difference.

    Think this can take more tomatoes and also nice to add peas for colour and brownie points. Agree that it won't do 4 hungry adults.

    I had high hopes for this recipe after reading many of the comments but I was so disappointed and so were the rest of the family. We found the flavour to be too bland for us and it took a lot longer to cook than the recipe stated. Not sure if I did something wrong but it wasn't nice enough to try again.

    Had this tonight after searching for a quick and easy recipe on the site - WOW!! What a find! This was one of the most tasty meals we've had for ages and so easy. Will definitely make again and ring the changes with chicken/different veg etc. Might try a bit of chilli in it next time too.

    I'd doubled up in the recipe and it took about 45 minutes in the fan oven. Taste was quite nice but I will only use this as a base recipe and add lots of other veggies and meat to it.

    So easy - love it! Put in Mushrooms rather than tomatoes - Very good. Could use some rocket for an extra flavour - so will be trying that next time.

    I'm not sure why this risotto recipe is rated so highly. I thought the flavours were very average, and there are much tastier and more interesting risotto recipes available. The only change I made was to add some spinach for extra veggies. I might might a baked risotto again as it was convenient, but will try different ingredients.
