Instructions

1.
Warm the vegetable broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Keep warm.
2.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
4.
Add the Arborio rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the edges of the rice become translucent.
5.
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is fully absorbed by the rice.
6.
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until each ladleful is absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.
7.
Once the rice is cooked through (creamy and al dente), remove from the heat.
8.
Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9.
Serve immediately.
