 A traditional Italian way to cook rice which results
 in a creamy side dish. Best served hot, as this dish
 doesn't wait. Cook mushrooms, zucchini, and red pepper
 until tender crisp in large skillet over medium-high
 heat. Remove vegetables; set aside. Cook onions in
 same skillet until soft. Add rice and saffron; stir 2
 to 3 minutes.  Add wine and stir until absorbed. Stir
 in broth.  Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until
 broth is absorbed.  Continue stirring and add 2 cups
 water, allowing the first cup to be absorbed before
 adding the second. Cook until rice is tender and
 mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take
 approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in cheese,
 parsley, white pepper, and reserved vegetables. Serve
 immediately.
