My mom always made this hearty dish to use up late summer garden vegetables. Often, I'll add sautéed mushrooms and serve it as an entrée with crusty bread and a salad.-Shirley Hodge, Bangor, Pennsylvania

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler dishes.

The rice was a bit undercooked for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I was a bit skeptical about using zucchini in a risotto, but it turned out to be a great addition. It added a nice sweetness and crunch.
