Sauté the garlic until fragrant.

Dice carrots and celery into small pieces.

Slice courgette into strips of similar size to the carrot.

Add the diced vegetables to the pan and sauté them.

Add arborio rice to the pan to soak up the flavors.

Pour in the vegetable stock gradually, allowing the rice to absorb it bit by bit while stirring continuously.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Continue stirring for about 20 minutes until the rice is creamy and cooked through.
