Sauté the Base

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion is translucent.

Add Rice

Stir in Arborio rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

Cook the Risotto

Gradually add vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
