directions

- Start by heating 2 teaspoons olive oil in heavy bottomed, medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring until translucent, about 3 minutes. Next, add the rice, stirring to coat in oil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the wine and stir until it's almost fully absorbed. Then, add the chicken broth one cup at a time. It's not necaessary to stir constantly, but you shold stir often. Let the rice almost fully absorb the broth before adding another cup.
- Continue cooking until the rice is creamy, cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and pepper. Serve with a drizzle of the remaining olive oil and a shaving of fresh Parmesan if desired.
