3 Pour 1/2 cup of the broth over rice. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed.

Sprinkle with cheese.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Risotto is done when enough broth has been absorbed to make the rice just tender and the mixture creamy.

The secret to creamy risotto is adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time and cooking with frequent stirring until all the liquid is absorbed before repeating with another 1/2 cup broth.

This was really good by itself. I made it to go with the Chicken Marsala, but it didn't go really good with it. But I would definitely make it again just with another dish. Also it made way too much for a side dish. I had risotto leftovers for a few snacks in the afternoon, but didn't mind.
