Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the finely chopped garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2.

    Stir in the Arborio rice and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is golden brown and toasted, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the dry white wine and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3.

    Stir in the low-sodium chicken broth all at once. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and creamy and the broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the finely grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan and cracked pepper.
