How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the arborio rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the edges become transparent, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until the alcohol evaporates, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the hot broth a tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes. The rice should be creamy and al dente.
- Once the rice is al dente, stir in the fresh spinach and crumbled goat cheese. Cook until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
