Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 tbsp. butter (divided)
  • 1 medium onion (minced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 cup dry white wine (good quality)
  • 6 oz. fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Instruction

  • Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Keep the broth warm over very low heat.
  • Meanwhile, add the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of butter, diced onion, and garlic to a heavy large saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes over medium heat.
  • Stir in the rice and let it toast for a few minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring continuously, until fully absorbed.
  • Add 1 cup of the hot vegetable broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the rice is just tender and the risotto is smooth and creamy (about 25-30 minutes).
  • Reduce the heat to low, stir in the fresh spinach, and cook until fully wilted (5 minutes).
  • Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese.
