Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice to the boiling broth, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and mash it gently with the back of a large spoon or a potato masher until it begins to break down but still retains some texture.

Step 7

Stir in the sautéed garlic and butter, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the rice is creamy and fully combined.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
