I made this exactly like the recipe and my family loved it. It was surprisingly hearty and filling. The cheese is a must. I will definitely be making it again.

I revamped this for my partner's delicate stomach and cut the onion in half, used carrot instead of asparagus, frozen spinach and added shrimp. It was quite good and very fast and easy. It seems a generally good recipe, but Iâm not fond of short grained rice like this. Still in all, it is healthy, quick and good.
