Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth and keep it warm on low heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened and lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Toast the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for about 2 minutes, toasting it slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Pour in one ladle of warm broth into the rice mixture and stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding broth one ladle at a time, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in Cream and Cheese

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan if desired.
