1

In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat and keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

2

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

3

Add the arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to toast slightly and absorb the flavors.

4

Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until all the wine has evaporated. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

5

Start adding the warm chicken broth to the rice one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the broth is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.

6

When the rice is al dente and creamy, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the saffron threads, the remaining tablespoon of butter, and the grated parmesan cheese.

7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well to combine.

8

Let the risotto sit for about 2 minutes to thicken before serving.
