In a large skillet, add butter and heat on medium-high.

Sauté mushrooms until cooked, then transfer to a plate.

In the same pan, add more butter and diced onion; cook until tender.

Add minced garlic and toast for a couple of minutes.

Toast arborio rice for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.

Add dry white wine and cook until reduced by half or alcohol smell dissipates.

Add 1-2 ladles of hot chicken stock to the rice, allowing it to absorb.

Turn off the heat and let residual heat melt the butter and cheese for about a minute.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
