Fab recipe. I’ve used Gallo myself and it’s excellent. Thanks for linking up with the Recipe Shed
Posted by Reluctant Housedad | October 20, 2011, 12:01 pmI’ve entered a risotto recipe into the #RecipeShed this week too! I’ve never tried making a risotto using the oven rather than the hob but I might be tempted to give this a go. Nice recipe 🙂
