Easy

This rice is like the real risotto, but takes much less time to prepare, if you prefer it more cheesy taste then add in more Parmesan cheese, I advise that you really be careful when adding the salt as the Parmesan already has a lot of salt content, but load up on freshly ground black pepper, this rice will become a favorite of yours, it is so good --- this is not a recipe for a fluffy rice, it is more on the creamy style similar to risotto, I most always add about 1 heaping tablespoon of minced fresh garlic in with the chopped onion but that is optional, really you can add in whatever you like to this, I have even added in peas :)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out too soupy. I think I added too much liquid. Other than that, the flavors were great.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time.

I thought this risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.
