Time to add the secret ingredient - dry white wine. Watch the rice soak in all the goodness, giving it that fantastic flavor. Mmm, I can’t wait!
Here comes the risotto’s special touch - slowly pouring in the simmering chicken broth, one ladle at a time. And don’t forget the secret trick - stir constantly! It releases the rice’s starch and gives us that creamy texture we’re all craving.
Now, be patient as we let the rice work its magic. Keep adding the broth, stirring away, until it’s creamy perfection and the rice is al dente. Oh, the anticipation!
Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for - the grand finale! Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and unsalted butter. Oh, the creaminess! A little salt and black pepper to season, and voilà!
