Polly's Creamy Mushroom Risotto Recipe is a classic Italian dish made with Arborio rice, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese. This recipe is a variation of the traditional risotto because Polly substitutes chicken broth with vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. The earthy flavor of the mushrooms combined with the creamy texture of the rice makes this dish perfect for cold winter days. Moreover, it's easy to make, making it a staple recipe for cozy dinners with the family.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, heat the chicken broth on medium heat. Keep it warm.
2.	In a separate pot, melt butter and cook garlic until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook until they're tender and browned.
3.	Add the arborio rice and stir until it's well coated. Stir frequently and cook until the rice becomes translucent.
4.	Add a cup of the warm broth and stir occasionally until it's mostly absorbed. Repeat this step until the rice is cooked - about 20 minutes.
5.	Add the parmesan cheese and stir until it's fully melted and combined. Serve hot!
