CREAMY LEMON PARMESAN RICE
This rice is absolutely amazing! If you love lemon and rice then you should not pass this up, this rice has all the creaminess of risotto without all the constant stirring. To insure creaminess use only aborio rice for this. If you are not a garlic lover then leave it out.

[email protected]Easy and tasty! I used low-fat milk and cheese to lighten it up a bit, and it was still very creamy and flavorful. The lemon added a nice brightness to the dish. I served it with grilled salmon and it was a perfect meal.
