I love make farro risotto and the heartiness of the grain makes it so that it can be made ahead. This version I really liked with a little dill havarti, I used that cause it was in the fridge but it worked so well, I have to recommend it.

- Add broth 1/2 cup at a time stirring between each addition only adding more when there is no liquid. It should take about 30-40 minutes. Once the farro is cooked and creamy turn off the heat and stir in the dill havarti cheese and the baby spinach.
