    1/2 cup spinach leaves
    1/2 cup chicken broth -- as needed
    2 garlic cloves -- minced
    1/2 cup pine nuts
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    FOR THE RISOTTO:
    6 tablespoons butter
    2 cups arborio rice
    1 small onion -- diced
    2 garlic cloves -- minced
    1 cup dry white wine
    salt -- to taste

    FOR THE SAUCE: Blend all sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside.

    TO MAKE THE RISOTTO: In a large skillet, combine the butter and rice, and cook until rice sizzles. Add the onion, garlic, wine, and salt. Cook on medium-high until liquid evaporates. Add 1 cup of broth and stir until broth evaporates. Repeat this step five more times. Add the sauce, cheese, and pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes. Stir well and serve.

    Note: If there are leftovers, place 1/4-inch of water in the bottom of a saucepan. Add the risotto and cover. Cook on medium-high for approximately 15 minutes, stirring often. Top with fresh cheese and serve.
