This risotto recipe doesn't use cream or cheese which makes it much "lighter". It's still delicious yet healthy.

- Add half the wine to rice mixture and about 1/2 cup of the hot stock.
- Cook on medium low until all liquid has been absorbed.
- Add the remainder of stock and white wine and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, until rice is creamy. (Rice needs to absorb liquid slowly in order to have the correct consistency.).
