The ingredients for Traditional Risotto are:

3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups short grain Arborio rice
5 1/2 cups chicken broth, warmed
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. butter
pepper to taste

Here is how you make Traditional Risotto:

Place chicken broth in a heavy saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan and cook onions and garlic, stirring frequently, until onions become translucent, about 4-5 minutes; don't let them brown.Stir in the rice and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 3-4 minutes longer until some grains begin to look translucent. Add wine; cook and stir until wine is absorbed. Then add about 1/2 cup of simmering chicken broth to the rice mixture, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed.At this point you can add more broth, about 1 cup, at a time. The whole cooking process should take about 20-25 minutes. The rice should be tender, but firm, or al dente, in the center; test it by biting into some grains. When the rice is done, remove the pan from the heat and stir in cheese and butter and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until melted, then serve.Serving Size: Makes about 6 half-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KERITAIL.
