Easy Almost Parmesan Risotto

---

This rice is like the real risotto, but takes much less time to prepare, if you prefer it more cheesy taste then add in more parmesan cheese, i advise that you really be careful when adding the salt as the parmesan already has a lot of salt content, but load up on freshly ground black pepper, this rice will become a favorite of yours, it is so good --- this is not a recipe for a fluffy rice, it is more on the creamy style similar to risotto, i most always add about 1 heaping tablespoon of minced fresh garlic in with the chopped onion but that is optional, really you can add in whatever you like to this, i have even added in peas :)
