Add Veggies- I personally like mine loaded with vegetables.I would add peas, asparagus, carrots to this.
Add Protein- if you want, top the mushroom risotto with sautéed shrimp or scallops or grilled chicken.

Awesomely delicious and so easy. I added a few dried porcini mushrooms as well which I soaked in the vegetable stock for a few minutes and cut into small pieces. Also didn’t have Parmesan cheese so used ricotta instead.
