Directions:
- Heat the broth in a medium sauce pan to a very low simmer.
- Heat oil in large heavy bottom skillet.
- Add leeks and cook until limp over low-medium heat.
- Add Arborio rice and toast in the oil and leeks for a few minutes.
- Add wine and cook until nearly evaporated.
- Add the lemon peel to the pot.
- Add ladles of warm stock to barely cover the rice and stir gently, cooking over low heat until the liquid is nearly completely absorbed.
- Add another ladle and continue until the stock is used and the rice is not quite tender to the tooth. There is still a bit of bite in each grain.
- Season with salt, pepper, thyme.
- Fish out the long lemon pieces and discard.
- Add spinach, half and half, stir once or twice to wilt the spinach into the rice.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. The rice will warm and melt the cheese into unctuous goodness.
