How to Make a Creamy Risotto

Creamy risotto is a comforting and versatile dish that can be customized with a variety of ingredients. Start by sautéing diced onions and minced garlic in olive oil until softened. Add Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Gradually add hot chicken or vegetable broth, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and tender, typically 18-20 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and butter until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately as a side dish or topped with your favorite proteins or vegetables.
