4.Pour in Arborio rice and stir to coat it with oil.
5.Pour in white wine and let it cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
6.Begin adding the vegetable broth one cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be mostly absorbed before adding another cup.
7.When rice is cooked and creamy, stir in nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
8.Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
