Author Notes

Stovetop risotto is notoriously labor intensive, but this microwave version gives your wooden spoon a break! Walk away as the rice turns al dente before finishing it off with a generous dusting of parmesan. Creamy, rich, and wonderfully umami, this is the dish you turn to when you need to eat your feelings.

Note: This recipe was created for a 1000-watt microwave. Head to cookanyday.com to find the original recipe and adjust cooking times for other microwave wattages.
