Creamy Risotto

Last night I made my first batch of Arborio rice with Fage yogurt. How did it turn out? I'll put it this way; this is so creamy and delicious, I don't think I'll ever reach for macaroni and cheese again. What's more, this has no fat, no cholestoral, and very little sodium. One cup has only 117 calories. To turn this into dinner, I'm going to try adding roasted or baked "Chickenless" strips with a simple green salad. Yum!

Ingredients:
-2 cups of arborio rice (dry)
-5-6 cups of vegetable broth
-1 cup Fage nonfat yogurt
-1 lemon

Prep:
1. Bring the stock to a boil. Add the rice; reduce to simmer and let the rice absorb all of the broth, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning. DO NOT strain or rinse when done.
2. Juice the lemon; stir into the Fage.
3. Combine the Fage mixture and rice, measure into 1 or 2 cup servings, and enjoy!

You can add whatever spices and vegetables if you like, or substitute another flavor for the lemon. Personally, I like this version because it's so creamy and dense; it's the most filling 240 calories I've ever had!

Next time I will make this with potatoes, rosemary and garlic for a healthy (and simple) Potato Salad.
