Season with salt to taste and cook, stirring constantly and adding water, 1/2 cup at a time as needed. Taste the rice every few minutes. When the rice is tender, turn off the heat.
  5. Add a little water if the risotto looks dry. Stir in butter and a little grated cheese.
  6. Squeeze the lemon juice over the risotto and add salt if necessary. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle the risotto with cheese and drizzle with olive oil.
