Instructions:

1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms.

2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.

3. Add the mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown.

4. Toast the rice: Add the arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Deglaze with wine: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until it has reduced by half.

6. Add the broth: Gradually add the vegetable broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time. Stir constantly and let the rice absorb the liquid before adding more.

7. Cook the risotto: Continue cooking the risotto for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite to it.

8. Stir in the Parmesan: Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.

9. Finish with butter: Add the butter and stir until it melts and coats the risotto.

10. Season to taste: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
