Cooking steps

1

Finely chop the shallots and sauté them in olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
2

Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir continuously for 2 minutes, allowing the grains to toast and become glossy.
3

Pour in the prosecco and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the liquid is almost absorbed, about 3–4 minutes.
4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add warmed vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring gently and allowing each addition to absorb before adding more, for 18–20 minutes.
5

Once the rice is tender and creamy, remove from heat. Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper, then cover and let rest for 3 minutes before serving immediately.
