Preparation

Fry the onion in a saucepan with a little oil. Add the rice a to the pan and fry in the oil and onion for a few seconds. Add the champagne and, once absorbed, add water. Gradually continue cooking, adding more hot water only when the previous quantity has evaporated. Add a pinch of salt. Once cooked al dente, turn off the heat and stir in the butter and then the parmesan cheese.
