Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 cups Arborio rice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup white wine
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 7 minutes.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring to coat each grain with the oil and butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
5. Gradually add vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
6. Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, adding salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
