This creamy and cheesy spinach risotto with the delicious undertone of garlic is not only easy to make, but also makes a perfect comfort food for your table. Enjoy it as a rich side dish or a hearty main course.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until onion becomes transparent.

Add Arborio rice to the pot and stir with the onion and garlic for about 2-3 minutes until rice is lightly toasted.

Start adding vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each cup of broth be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process until the rice is tender.

When the rice is cooked, stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.
