- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 4-5 cups vegetable broth, hot

- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
- Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the white wine (if using) and cook until it is absorbed.
- Add 1 cup of broth at a time, stirring constantly until all of the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
