PLEASE report back! Anything that might stand a chance of replacing even a bit of cheese in my life will become a staple in my house!0

this sounds amazing--please post or message me the recipe when you get a chance0

oo no! i make this risotto all the time
Pumpkin works really well too!!! SO SO SOOOOOO creamy
im a big cheese lover and find that this throws me off my diet... what I use to replace it is peanut sauce (lots of flavour, not as much fat) or lower fat / full flavour cheeses such as feta- you can use less and get enough taste0 -
as for recipe this is probably the closest to what I make (half the cheese, and you can avoid the white wine but i do find it makes a huge difference in the taste):
