11 steps

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

2. In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

3. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

5. Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until the edges of the rice are translucent.

6. Pour in the white wine and stir until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.

7. Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

8. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Repeat until the rice is cooked al dente and creamy, about 18-20 minutes.

9. Once the rice is tender, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined and creamy.
