Risotto Primavera

A risotto has to knock my socks off for me to want to make it again.  This was kind of boring and I actually doubled the garlic.  Even my hubby didn't find it good enough to make again and he pretty much likes everything.

He's a fan of risotto. We did not find it bland but I used dried thyme instead of fresh which makes a difference I think. Also increased salt by half a teaspoon. Otherwise used the same amount of broth called for and it was perfect. Did the others forget to add the extra half cup of water (I almost did)? I live at altitude and did not have to add additional moisture which is unusual so either they were cooking as regular rice and not stirring or they forgot to add the extra water. We love mushrooms and this had a very earthy flavor! My husband definitely wants me to make it again.

I agree with the other reviewer in that it's surprisingly bland. I'd add a lot more seasonings and mix it with other food you like.

I was disappointed by this dish.  I thought with all great ingredients like onions, garlic, wine, mushrooms and mascarpone that it would be fantastic, but somehow it was less than the sum of its parts.  I felt it worked fine as written, but definitely needed more flavor.  My family didn't like it at all.  I'll eat the leftovers, but I won't make this again.

It was a great recipe. I did have to add more stock than is called for in the recipe, 1-2 cups more. The rice just was not done with the 2.5c stock and .5 c of water. I also added more salt and pepper. All the flvors work well together, my family loved it.
