A traditional Italian way to cook rice which results in a creamy side dish.
Best served hot, as this dish doesn't wait. Cook mushrooms, zucchini, and
red pepper until tender crisp in large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove vegetables; set aside. Cook onions in same skillet until soft. Add
rice and saffron; stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and stir until absorbed.
Stir in broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is
absorbed. Continue stirring and add 2 cups water, allowing the first cup
to be absorbed before adding the second. Cook until rice is tender and
mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take approximately 25 to 30
minutes. Stir in cheese, parsley, white pepper, and reserved vegetables.
