I am the first to admit I don’t mind grabbing a glass of wine and stirring a pot of risotto over the stove for dinner. Mixing and matching flavors of the night. 

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.

 Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely something satisfying about making risotto on top of the stove, InaGarten Spring risotto is one example.

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.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BAKED RISOTTO

• Risotto
• Chicken Stock (boxed is fine)
• Parmesan Cheese (grated)
• Frozen Peas
• Butter
• Wine (optional)

Wow, just heat up some chicken stock, boxed of course, and put it all in a Le Creuset or other Dutch Oven--I have a Martha Stewart One that I bought at Macy’s on sale.

Place it in the oven and sit back and relax.

Wow 45 minutes later with no work or standing you have a great tasting side dish or meal. I am going to explore using other recipes to adapt to the flavors.

You can also add extra veggies to this easy risotto recipe like peas or cooked vegetables.

Try it tonight. Barefoot Contessa does not disappoint even on this short cut risotto recipe.
