EASY PARMESAN "RISOTTO"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the rice and 4 cups of the chicken stock in a Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente. Remove from the oven, add the remaining cup of chicken stock, the Parmesan, wine, butter, salt, and pepper, and stir vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is thick and creamy. Add the peas and stir until heated through. Serve hot.

RISOTTO PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in an oversize, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot. Add the leek, season lightly with salt and pepper, stir and cover. Cook for 3 minutes until soft. Place the broth in a separate saucepan and simmer.
• Add the rice to the leek and stir to combine. Ladle in 1/2 cup of the broth and stir. Increase the heat to medium-high and, for the next 25 minutes, continue adding the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stirring constantly. After 15 minutes, add the white wine and carrot. After 5 more minutes, add the zucchini, asparagus and peas. Stir well. The rice should be tender but firm. If not, add more broth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Beat 1/2 cup of ricotta into the rice. Add the spinach. Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Top each with a spoonful of the remaining ricotta. Sprinkle with parsley and chives and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat the grains with oil, about 1 minute.

• Remove from oven. Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup water (the consistency of the risotto should be creamy), the butter, cheese, and parsley. Serve immediately.
