Risotto is one of those dishes that warms you from the inside out and keeps you feeling satisfied longer. This is an easy meal to prepare but must be continually stirred so the risotto doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan or burn. Alternative cheeses can be added in addition to the parmesan. Sometimes I add a mozzarella goat cheese giving it a more complex flavor. Often times I serve it with a colorful side like sauteed asparagus. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! It's one of my favorites to prepare in a pinch :)
