Directions
  1. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan; keep warm but do not boil.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add rice, onion and garlic; sauté for 5 min.
  3. Add wine; cook until liquid evaporates.
  4. Add 2 cups broth; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is nearly absorbed (about 5 min.). If liquid takes much longer or much less than 5 min. to absorb, adjust heat up or down slightly.
  5. Add another 1 cup broth; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost gone again (5 min. more).
  6. Continue adding broth 1 cup at a time, cooking until rice is tender (about 15 min. more).
  7. Stir in remaining ingredients until cheese is melted and ingredients are evenly heated through.
  8. Serve immediately while risotto is very hot.
