Traditional Risotto is a pain, because you have to baby-sit it at the stove. This recipe requires just a few minute of that and then it's into the oven. So glad when I found this.

    NOTE: I buy Parmesano Reggiano (which is very expensive)@ Sam's Club or Costco. I can buy a pound wedge for $11.00 which is less then half of grocery stores. I grate it in my processor and freeze it. I can scoop out what I need without any trouble. BTW. be sure to save and freeze The Rind!! Add it to any soup or your pasta sauce. It adds wonderful flavor. (of course fish it out when serving. The rinds sell at Whole Foods Stores for $14.00 per pound.
