I liked the idea of this risotto, but I thought the execution was lacking. The asparagus and leeks were undercooked and the risotto was too runny. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of prosciutto next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I was disappointed with this risotto. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy. I think I would have been better off making a simple pasta dish instead.

I thought this risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if there had been more asparagus and leeks.

I'm not usually a big fan of risotto, but this recipe changed my mind. The asparagus and leeks added a nice sweetness and crunch, and the prosciutto gave it a savory flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
