If you’ve never made risotto because you didn’t want to stand there stirring forever, then this recipe is for you. It packs all the satisfying flavor of a slow-stirred version into a fraction of the hands-on time. This is all possible because you’ll bake the risotto rather than cooking it on the stove top. And did we mention that it all comes together in one pot? It’s the ultimate hands-off dinner.

- Step 1Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Step 2Using a Y-peeler, remove two 1″-thick strips of zest from the lemon. Add onion and lemon zest to the butter and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in rice, broth, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven.
- Step 3Bake until rice is tender, 20 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and stir in Parmesan, peas, pepper, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and ½ teaspoon salt, stirring until butter is melted and peas are warm. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze half of the juice into the risotto; stir to combine. Remove lemon zest and serve topped with more Parmesan and parsley.
