This is a really good risotto. The only change I really made was to halve the butter. We liked the addition of the sun dried tomatoes, but thought more was definitely needed to increase the flavor in this dish. To the leftovers I added kalamata olives, lemon and artichoke hearts, and that did punch up the flavor.

This is one of the best recipes to date that I have tried on Zaar. Creamy, flavorful, and decadent. This was my first attempt at making risotto because I've always been inhibited by the attention required; I am so glad I tried it. Outstanding! I substituted basil for the parsley as a personal preference. For PAC. Served with recipe #226428
