Stir in the white wine. Microwave on high for an additional 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth.
If you don't have white wine on hand, apple juice or white grape juice work as excellent substitutes.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, peas, or asparagus during the last 5 minutes of cooking for added flavor and nutrition.
For a dairy-free version, substitute olive oil for butter and nutritional yeast for Parmesan cheese.
