Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Add the broth ½ cup at a time, stirring occasionally and waiting until it’s absorbed before adding more. It should take about 30 minutes for all of it to be absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spoon into bowls.
