INSTRUCTIONS
A traditional Italian way to cook rice which results in a creamy side dish. Best served hot, as this dish doesn't wait. Cook mushrooms, zucchini, and red pepper until tender crisp in large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove vegetables; set aside. Cook onions in same skillet until soft. Add rice and saffron; stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and stir until absorbed. Stir in broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue stirring and add 2 cups water, allowing the first cup to be absorbed before adding the second. Cook until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in cheese, parsley, white pepper, and reserved vegetables. Serve immediately.
