Description
Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

 * 3 cups water
 * 2 cups chicken broth
 * 1/4 cup butter, divided
 * 1/2 cup chopped Onion
 * 1 cup uncooked U.S. arborio or medium grain rice
 * 1/3 cup dry white wine
 * 1/2 cup heavy cream
 * 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 * salt and ground white pepper to taste

Directions
Heat water and broth in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium heat; add Onion and cook until soft. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed. Increase heat to medium-high; stir in 1 cup water-broth mixture. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding remaining water-broth mixture, 1 cup at a time, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another. Cook until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

Stir in cream, Cheese, salt, pepper and remaining butter. Stir until mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
