- Step 5: When rice is tender but still firm (al dente), stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan until creamy and glossy.
- Step 6: Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 7: Adjust consistency with additional stock if needed. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.
