Directions:
- Make the classic vegetable broth (onion, carrot, celery) and boil it for 30 minutes more or less.
- Heat olive oil with the few bay leaves in a large saucepan (best the one of red cooper) over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Add the rise to roast it for few minutes and add a pinch of salt.
- Add some white wine and rest it with higher flame until rice has absorbed the wine.
- Continue adding broth allowing rice to absorb it again and again.
- Cook until rice is al dente (18 – 20 minutes for a good carnaroli rice), than you can add some butter, hot water and parmesan cheese to make it creamy.
