. Start by melting the butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium heat
. Add your rice to the butter and toast gently for a few minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning
. Add your white wine to the rice - it will sizzle and absorb into the rice almost immediately!
. Once the wine is fully absorbed, start adding your vegetable broth to the rice 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly.
. Once the 1/2 cup broth is almost fully absorbed by the rice, add another 1/2 cup while continuing to stir.
. Continue this process until the rice is nice and creamy, and not absorbing the liquid anymore. It should be a nice, creamy consistency, and usually takes about 3 1/2 cups of broth total. Add more (or less!) if needed.
. Meanwhile, melt the butter with the garlic for the mushrooms in a separate pan over medium heat.
. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat in the butter, then let cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to brown.
. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then add the wine to the pan with the mushrooms. The wine will sizzle and absorb into the mushrooms almost immediately.
. Add the fresh rosemary to the mushrooms, and let cook for 1-2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
. Back to the risotto - season the rice with salt and pepper, and stir in the fresh spinach and parmesan until the spinach is wilted.
. Serve the risotto in a pasta bowl topped with the mushrooms and extra parmesan. Don't forget the wine!
