Creamy Arugula Risotto
  1. 1

    Finely chop the arugula and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the rice in the hot oil until it looks lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and stir frequently until most of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring almost constantly. Add the arugula with the 5th cup of vegetable broth; then pour in the remaining broth, stirring almost constantly, until the rice is tender yet slightly firm, 20 to 25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
