Story

Be sure to use white rice for your risotto that is short-grained and round or semi-round. No long grain or brown rices. One of the best for risotto is Arborio. No Minute Rice, please. It won't work.

I like this recipe because it's less time consuming than most risotto recipes, but still turns out very well. But don't try to serve this at an Italian family gathering. This is not strictly authentic and won't make it past Nonna!
