Experience the comforting combination of warm spinach and creamy cheese tonight!

1

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook better.

2

In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden and fragrant.

4

Add the rice to the pot, stirring for about 1 minute to toast it slightly in the oil.

5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

6

While the rice is cooking, in a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

7

Once the rice is ready, remove it from heat and fluff it with a fork. Gently fold in the wilted spinach and cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.

8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Spinaci e Formaggio Riso!
