This easy pesto risotto turns out delicious every time! Creamy, salty, and full of flavor, you’ll feel like you’re out for a fancy dinner every time you make it.
* Real Parmesan cheese is required. If you do not have real Parmesan (whether already shredded or in a wedge), then simply omit it. If the price of Parmesan seems high (approximately $4 for a wedge at Target), I assure you that not only is it worth the investment, but a little bit goes a long way. One wedge of Parmesan lasts us a couple of months, including recipes and snacking.
** Most recipes say to stir using long strokes. I always stir making small circles all over the pan. I can’t say for sure that either method works better than the other, but the key is to stir often, if not continuously.
