Preparation
-
Melt butter in deep pot and saute onion and garlic until translucent - about 5 minutes.
Add Arborio to pot and saute for about 3 minutes.
Add wine to rice and saute until nearly dry, then mix in spices.
Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of stock at a time to rice stirring often until it evaporates and repeat steps until stock is gone.
During Step 4, in a separate smaller pot, bring 1/4 cup of stock to a simmer, add spinach and cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Turn off heat and allow to cool slightly while covered.
Put cream into a food processor, add spinach mix including juice, and process until smooth.
When risotto is nearly done, add spinach mixture and mix well. Simmer until risotto evaporates to a creamy consistency.
Add cheese, mix, and serve.
