Rachel Ray's Mother's Risotto


I'd been looking through a number of Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Recipe books to see if there was anything I wanted to make.  I love risotto, and found a recipe called "My Mamma's Risotto" in Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals: Veggie Meals book.

I went to the grocery store and bought a bottle of white wine in order to make this recipe.  I know it calls for dry white wine, but  Noel recommend just using cheap white wine instead.  I looked for the cheapest white wine I could find, and bought a bottle instead of a box.

I thought it would have a "twist cap" since it was such a cheap bottle of white wine.  It wasn't until I opened the seal so that I could put the white wine in the risotto that I realized it had a cork, and I didn't have a corkscrew.  Since I was in the middle of making the dish, I couldn't go to the grocery store and buy one.

I tasted the dish before adding the Parmesan cheese and felt that it was rather bland.  It tasted much better after the Parmesan cheese was added.  Still, it didn't taste amazing, so I continue my search for a good risotto recipe.
