Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Toast the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

Deglaze with Wine

Add Broth Gradually
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

Incorporate Vegetables
When the rice is almost done, stir in the chopped asparagus, English peas, and fava beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
