1
Heat chicken stock in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Reduce the flame to lowest to keep it hot while you start the Risotto.
2
In a large skillet, melt the salted butter over medium heat.
3
Add the finely chopped shallot and crushed garlic to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until shallots become tender, roughly 5 minutes.
4
Add the arborio rice to the skillet. Stir well to ensure the rice is coated in butter and allow it to lightly toast for about 1 minute.
5
Pour in the dry white wine and gently stir until the rice has nearly absorbed the wine.
6
Begin adding the hot chicken stock to the skillet. Add one ladle at a time, stirring slowly until the rice has almost completely absorbed the broth before adding the next ladleful. It should take about 25-30 minutes.
7
Adding the last two ladlefuls of broth, mix in the diced tomatoes with the second-to-last ladle, and in the last ladleful introduce the chopped spinach and finely chopped basil.
8
When the rice is tender, remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the grated parmesan until it melts and blends in with the Risotto.
9
Assess the seasoning, add more salt or pepper if desired, then the dish is ready to serve and enjoy.
