  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

    Continue adding the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18 minutes total.
