Variants and tips

Use a large pot to prevent the milk from overflowing during cooking.

If you prefer, you can serve the rice as soon as it’s ready, without adding butter and Parmesan, or omitting one of the two.

You can add a pinch of pepper or nutmeg.

Try a new variant by stirring in some creamy cheese.
