- 1 ½ cups arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 oz parmigiano-reggiano, finely grated (about ½ cup), plus more for serving

For serving

Instructions

Pour the chicken broth into a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crumble in the saffron threads, stir to combine, and reduce the heat to low to keep the broth warm throughout cooking.

Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a wide heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
