Step 1

Warm the broth separately on the stove.

Step 2

In a wide pot on medium-low heat melt the butter. Once melted add shallots, garlic and a 1/2 tsp of salt. Sweat and cook down for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and soft.

Step 3

Once sweated out add tomato pasted and mix to combine. Toast tomato paste for 7-10 minutes until color has deepened. Mix every few seconds to ensure it doesn't burn.

Step 4

Add arborio rice and mix to combine. Toast rice for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the wine and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the first round of broth. Depending on the pan add broth until it just covers the risotto. (could be 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups). Give it a quick mix, a shake of the pan to ensure all grains are covered and cook until rice absorbs the majority of the broth. Mix every few minutes to avoid the rice from sticking.

Step 6

Add more broth and repeat above steps.

Step 7

Once all broth has been added, but not completely absorbed (15-18 minutes of cooking) give it a taste. Rice should still be loose, yet al dente. If it is still hard add more broth 1/4 cup at a time and cook down. Add the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Mix to incorporate. Serve immediately.
