Easy as Pie, Almost as Tasty,
This Risotto is a good as you’ll get in any restaurant and its very easy to make. All the flavors are great. Our supermarket chain stopped carrying the product (don’t have any idea why). So now I get it on Amazon. Same stuff, same great taste. Cooks up in about 21 minutes. Simple directions. No constant attention. Enjoy!
Shipping was fast and easy. Don’t be concerned that you have to buy a six pack. It’s a dry good so it keeps for a long time, but it’ll be gone before you know it.

|Alessi Pomodori: convenient & tasty.,
I wish this specific flavor of risotto was available in more grocery stores. It pairs well with fish and vegetables.

|Food snobs read no further…,
Love this stuff although it feels like cheating since it requires NO attention whatsoever. Fastidious friend who is from Milan swears by it. The chemicals are mildly disturbing, but it is so easy…and we’re going to die from something… OK, that’s a huge rationalization but it is quick and easy and tasty and with two teenage boys in the house, I can produce a decent dinner in under 30 minutes – without Rachel Ray’s annoying voice in my head.
