First time making risotto. Came out creamy and delicious! Also I don't think risotto deserves the reputation it has for being time consuming or troublesome. It is fairly easy to keep an eye on and stir while preparing other dishes.

This was very tasty, though I did make some modifications. First I halved the recipe and used 1/2 TBSP dried minced onion (hubby doesn't care for much onion flavor) and 1/8 tsp garlic powder. I used water rather than wine, omitted the added salt, doubled the parmesan and added 2 TBSP butter. It still made too much for us, but leftover risotto is wonderful when made into patties and thrown in a frying pan until crispy...better than hashbrowns in the morning! This is definitely a keeper.
