This risotto was a disaster! It was too soupy and the flavors were all wrong. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The risotto was a bit too soupy for my liking. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes.
