Cook the Risotto
In a large saucepan, heat 4 cups of broth and keep it warm on low heat. In another pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, and add finely chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and Arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Pour in 0.5 cup of white wine and cook until absorbed. Gradually add the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
