Time 45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup uncooked Arborio or medium-grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads or 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 can (15 to 16 oz) cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat broth over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is crisp-tender.
  • Stir in rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice begins to brown.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Pour 1/2 cup of the hot broth and the saffron over rice mixture. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and stirring frequently, until rice is almost tender and mixture is creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in beans and spinach. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let stand 5 minutes.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this risotto was not good. The rice was mushy, and the sauce was watery. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was undercooked, and the sauce was too thin. I ended up throwing it all away.

Not bad! I thought the flavors were a bit bland, so I added some garlic and red pepper flakes. It was much better after that.

This risotto was easy to make and turned out great! I used baby spinach instead of regular spinach, and it worked perfectly. I also added a bit of white wine to the broth, which gave it a nice depth of flavor.
