To make easy risotto, follow these simple steps:

1. Heat broth or stock in a saucepan and keep it warm.
2. In a separate large pan, sauté finely chopped onions in some butter or olive oil until soft.
3. Add Arborio rice and cook briefly to coat the grains.
4. Optionally add white wine and cook until mostly evaporated.
5. Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
6. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and tender but still slightly firm, about 20-25 minutes.
7. Remove from heat, stir in butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Tips for success:

• Use warm broth throughout to keep cooking steady.
• Stir gently but regularly to release the starch and create creaminess.
• Don't rinse the rice beforehand as you want to keep the starch.
• Fresh Parmesan cheese makes a big flavor difference.
• Have all ingredients prepped beforehand as the process needs attention.

This method yields a creamy and delicious risotto that is easy to make at home even for beginners.
