This risotto turned out amazing! I never thought I’d manage to make it creamy like this. Thanks for the recipe!
So glad to hear it! Risotto can be tricky, but it’s all about stirring and patience. Keep it up! 😊
Too much work for me. I just want quick meals for my busy life.
But it’s so worth it! Risotto is delish if you have the time! Maybe save it for a weekend?
I get that! Sometimes, recipes can feel like a whole project. I usually go for simpler meals on busy days too.
I was skeptical at first, but it actually turned out pretty good. Just took a lot of stirring!
Risotto is a pain in the backside but this one is worth it! Gonna make again.
Totally agree! It’s a labor of love but so rewarding in the end! 🥰
Isn’t there an easier way to make risotto though? I heard you can use a pressure cooker.
I wasn’t sure about adding wine. I skipped it and could tell it was missing something. Next time I’ll try it with the wine!
This risotto recipe is amazing! Super creamy and flavorful. My family loved it.
I’m so glad to hear that! Risotto really is a comfort food. Did you add any extra spices?
What’s the deal with Arborio rice? Can I just use regular rice? Asking for a friend.
Not sure why everyone loves this so much. It was okay, but definitely needed more flavor. Salt and pepper didn’t cut it.
Super easy to follow! My kids even loved it, and they usually hate mushrooms! I’m gonna make this again.
I’m so glad to hear that! It’s great when kids enjoy something healthy. What did you serve it with?
Best meal ever!! I put extra cheese and it was so good. Mmmmmm!!!
Is this really Italian? My grandma made it with different stuff. This ain’t it.
I get what you’re saying! But recipes can differ from region to region in Italy. This still sounds delicious though!
Um, I think u forgot to mention when to add the mushrooms? I put them in too early and it just looked weird.
Made this for a dinner party and it was a hit! Who needs fancy restaurants when you can cook like this! 🙂
That sounds so amazing! I can’t wait to try it for my family this weekend! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
OMG I love mushrooms!!! This dish is my new favorite, yum!
I thought risotto was hard to make? This was way simpler than I expected. Didn’t use white wine tho, things went well!
