Instructions

In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in 1/2 cup of hot chicken broth to release their color and flavor.
In a saucepan, keep the rest of the chicken broth warm over low heat.
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes until the rice becomes slightly translucent.
Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the hot chicken broth one ladle at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed. Add the saffron infusion halfway through this process.
Continue adding broth until the rice is creamy and al dente. Remove from heat.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter until well incorporated and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
