Very tasty. I used leftover white rice that I had from another dish. Just reheated the rice with a little water then added the butter & parmesan cheese to taste.

I assume that the rice water and butter are the only things boiled together, and that the parmesan and salt are stirred in to taste. That worked fine. I didn't know what boiling the parmesan would do so I figured I'd better not try it!
