Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the broth and keep it warm over low heat.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Stir in the Arborio rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted.

Notes
Use warm broth for even cooking. Do not rinse Arborio rice to retain starch. Regular stirring is key to creamy texture. Experiment with different mushrooms for unique flavors.
