Baked Asparagus and Spinach Risotto (Cooking Light) image

I love risotto and needed to find one I could bake in the oven while I cooked dinner on the stove top. This is a very easy risotto that tastes great and was described as "no fail" on the Cooking Light website. To me, risotto is the ultimate comfort food that can always be served to company! And this one requires no slaving over the pot!

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning. I added some extra garlic and salt, and it was much better.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were nice, but the risotto was a bit too al dente for my liking. I might try making it again with a different cooking method.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid. Next time, I'll be more careful with the measurements.
