Ingredients

  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • cups arborio rice
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat broth in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming.
  • Melt butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
  • Add rice, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to turn translucent, about 1 minute.
  • Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, until it has evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Add 1 cup of the hot broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute.
  • Continue adding the broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until it has been absorbed before adding more, until you've added all the broth, about 20 minutes.
  • Then, add the corn, spinach, and tomatoes and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.

  • Remove from heat; stir in parmesan cheese. Serve risotto topped with more cheese and basil.
