Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit too subtle for me, and the texture was a bit too mushy.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs. I also found the texture to be a bit too mushy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out too mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.
