HelloFresh Review: Balsamic Tomato Parmesan Risotto with Basil Oil & Zucchini

Tonight we reviewed HelloFresh's Balsamic Tomato Parmesan Risotto.  Since this one was vegetarian, I knew it would be slightly harder to get buy-in from my husband.  So, although his ratings were a little lower, keep in mind that vegetarian meals are not his first choice.

This one took almost an hour to make from start to finish.  If you've never made risotto before, you need to add the cooking broth a little at a time, and there is a LOT of stirring involved.  You can't set it on the stove and leave it for long.  (Hence, it felt more labor-intensive than the average HelloFresh meal.)  I love making a nice risotto dish on a day that I feel like cooking...but keep in mind that if you're looking for something quick to bring to the table, this isn't your dish.

Ratings:
6 from everyone but me--I gave it a 6.5.  Nice flavor, but probably wouldn't order it again.
