Steps:

- When the rice is done- stir, serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Arborio rice will give you the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the rice, make sure there is enough space for the grains to move around and absorb the liquid.
- Cook the rice over medium heat: This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Stir the rice frequently: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
- Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
- Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh parsley or basil will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
