Creamy italian rice dish that is served as a main course. This is a reduced fat version. I have reduced the amount of oil and cheese used, but you can also sprinkle parmesan over the top once it's served. We make this at least one a week. It's wonderful!

Steps:
- Pour the stock or broth into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Keep liquid hot.
- In a large, heavy saucepan over low heat, heat oil.
- Add the leeks and saute about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minute.
- (It is very important to use Arborio rice!) Add the wine and stir until absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Add one ladleful of the hot stock or broth, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Continue adding the stock or broth, one ladleful at a time and stirring constantly, until the rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and the mixture is creamy, 20-25 minutes longer.
- Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir to mix well.
- Serve at once.
- Makes 8 cups.
