Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Arborio rice

1/2 cup dry white wine

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, kept warm

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they become soft and translucent.

Stir in Arborio rice, allowing it to toast for a couple of minutes until the edges become slightly translucent.

Pour in the white wine, stirring constantly until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.

Begin ladling in the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each ladle to be absorbed before adding the next.

When the rice is halfway cooked, add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to infuse the risotto with a burst of tomato flavor.

Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice reaches a creamy and al dente consistency.

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, letting them meld into the risotto. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the Creamy Tomato Basil Risotto hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and fragrance.
