So tonight I am making a few things I have already written about, Asian Sesame Chicken and Roasted Carrots, but to go with it I am making this great boxed Risotto that I found by accident in the couscous section of my grocery store - Lundberg Creamy Parmesean. It has a wonderful creamy texture, a great taste that isn't over powered by the seasonings, and it goes well with many meals. I like to make this when I need a side dish to go with my meals that doesn't take a lot of babysitting at the stove.
The beauty of this risotto is that you toast the rice with some olive oil, then add in the seasoning and water, bring it to a simmer and then you let it sit until it is finished, approx 40 min total.I highly recommend picking up a box and giving it a shot if you find it in your local store!

I did finally make this and although it was good in a pinch, I love homemade risotto. I make something similar to your parmesean risotto except I add 6 oz of fresh spinach to it. Gives it that wonderful veggie servings and allows DH to eat one more green vegetable since he only likes a few green veggies!
