This is really good and a frequent side dish in our house! It is simple to make with minimal preparation. Just be sure to bake the risotto long enough; when undercooked even a little, the dish loses a lot of appeal. When cooked just right, it tastes great! Good with leftovers as well, so it can go a long way! Try it, you'll love it!
