Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 (8-oz.) pkg. whole mushrooms, quartered
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked short-grain Arborio rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (14-oz.) can small artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and quartered
  • 2 oz. (1/2 cup) shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Bring broth to a boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low to keep broth barely simmering.
  • Step 
    2
    Meanwhile, heat oil in 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir 1 minute.
  • Step 
    3
    Carefully stir in 1 cup hot broth and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir until almost all of liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring after each addition until liquid is absorbed. Rice should be tender and creamy but still slightly firm in center.

    Add spinach and artichoke hearts; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted and artichokes are thoroughly heated. Stir in cheese. If desired, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese.
