1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat. 2. In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened. 3. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent. 4. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
