Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 25 minutes

Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to coat the rice with the oil.
Pour in the white wine and cook until it is absorbed by the rice.
Gradually add the vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more.
After adding about 2 cups of broth, stir in the diced tomatoes.
Continue adding the remaining broth until the rice is cooked al dente, tender yet still firm to the bite.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the mascarpone cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the risotto hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
