Steps

1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat. 2. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. 3. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. 4. Stir in the Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes until slightly translucent. 5. Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer until absorbed. 6. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. 7. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente. 8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute. 9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
