Ingredients:  
2 tablespoons exra virgin olive oil

Directions:
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened for 10 minutes. Add the saffron stir for 1 minute. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon until the rice is well coated for 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the wine to the rice, and then add a 4 to 6 ounce of simmering broth and cook, stirring constantly, making sure to wipe the sides and bottom of the pot clean as you stir, until all the liquid is absorbed.

Continue adding the stock a little at a time, waiting until the liquid is completely absorbed before adding more.

After about 20 minutes begin to taste the rice. It is ready when it is tender and creamy, but still a little firm to the bite.

Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the Parmagiano cheese until well mixed. You are now ready to serve.
