Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 medium onion, finely diced

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 3/4 cup arborio rice

• 1/4 cup white wine

• 3 cloves roasted garlic, minced

• 2 cups hot chicken broth

• 1/4 cup half-and-half cream

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Toss broccoli in olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread on a greased baking sheet and roast broccoli at 400F 10-15 minutes until tender. Set aside.

2. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion in butter until just tender. Add rice, wine, and roasted garlic to skillet and stir 1 minute.

3. Reduce heat to medium and begin adding hot chicken broth to rice, a little bit at a time, waiting until liquid is evaporated before adding more broth. Continue adding broth in small amounts 10-15 minutes until rice is tender and creamy. Stir in half-and-half, roasted broccoli, and top with Parmesan cheese. Serve risotto warm and enjoy!
