Instructions: In a large saute pan, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onions and 1 tablespoon of the cuttlefish ink. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring. Saute until the onions are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the rice and saute for 2 minutes. Start to slowly add the stock, stirring constantly, allowing the stock to absorb after each addition. Season the cuttlefish with salt and pepper.

To a hot saute pan, add olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic, the remaining tablespoon of cuttlefish ink and the cuttlefish and saute for 5 minutes. Stir half of the cuttlefish into the risotto. Stir in the butter, cream, cheese and parsley and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.

Spoon the risotto in the center of each shallow bowl. Top with the remaining cuttlefish. Garnish with parsley.
