Creamy Parmesan risotto is comfort food at its finest! Warm, rich, and cheesy, this dish is a perennial favorite. It’s loaded with belly-filling Arborio rice and Parmesan cheese to keep you full and satisfied for under $10. What could be better?!
What is Parmesan Risotto?
Risotto is a magical dish created by slow-cooking starchy rice in broth. Part of the magic is how the rice leeches its starches into the liquid, creating a creamy and rich sauce. This is achieved by adding the broth slowly over a longer period of time and stirring continuously. Most risotto has cheese, and we love Parmesan, so it felt like a natural choice for this Parmesan risotto recipe! I think making risotto is my favorite form of meditation; it makes me practice living in the moment!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Parmesan risotto:
- Vegetable Broth: We used Better than Bouillon to cut costs. You can also substitute chicken broth if you prefer.
- Dry White Wine: We used a mini chardonnay Bota Box for this recipe, but white cooking wine also works well. If you don’t have white wine on hand, just up your recipe to 5 cups of vegetable broth.
- Olive Oil: Helps cook the onion without burning it. You can use canola or vegetable oil to cut costs.
- Yellow Onion: Adds a sweet and earthy flavor to the risotto.
- Arborio Rice: An Italian, short-grain rice that has a high starch content, perfect for making risotto.
- Butter: Salted or unsalted is fine, you will just need to adjust any additional salt based on whatever butter you have on hand. We used unsalted butter.
- Salt and Pepper: Enhance the overall flavor of this risotto.
- Parmesan Cheese: Provides the majority of the flavor of this dish. We do not recommend using pre-shredded cheese for this recipe. Shred yours fresh!
- Parsley: Adds a pop of freshness and color.
Risotto Variations
This Parmesan risotto is great as is, but you can also make it your own by experimenting with additional ingredients. Try adding:
- Sauteed mushrooms
- Frozen peas
- Frozen corn kernels
- Cherry tomatoes
- Ricotta cheese
- Crushed red pepper flakes

Tips for Making Creamy Risotto
- This recipe requires few ingredients, but it is a labor of love! You don’t want to pour all of the broth in at once, because then you will just have regular boiled rice. Your rice will slowly absorb the liquid and become super creamy if you take your time and follow the directions. Risotto shouldn’t take you much longer than 20 minutes from start to finish. As you can see in the photos, we used up all of the veggie broth, so be patient and watch the magic happen!
- Risotto is traditionally enjoyed “al dente” with a little c
