However, when I saw this “baked” risotto from Barefoot Contessa and realized my life in the kitchen is changed forever.  

This Super easy Ina Garten risotto recipe is sure a new go-to in your family. You will be pleasantly surprised by how wonderful this version of parmesan risotto in half the time of your traditional risotto recipes.

BAKED RISOTTO RECIPE

It was a hectic night and at the last minute, I was thinking of a side dish. Fortunately, I had all the ingredients I needed at home. Now I know why the word risotto is in quotes because it tastes similar but fewer steps!!

This sort of reminds me of the Sheet Pan Dinner Craze. Loving the idea of everything in one dish and thrown in the oven.
