Sauté the Vegetables

Toast the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is slightly translucent.

Add Broth and Cook
Gradually add the broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Cook for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
