I would have liked these arancini more if the filling had been a little less salty.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my arancini didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have needed to fry them for a little longer.

These arancini were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more salt and pepper to the rice.

Arancini are one of my favorite Italian dishes, and this recipe did not disappoint! The rice balls were crispy on the outside and tender and cheesy on the inside. I especially loved the addition of the peas and mozzarella.
