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.
