Vegetable broth is a great alternative for a lighter dish.

Heat chicken broth in a pot and keep warm over low heat.

Soak saffron threads in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of warm broth.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in arborio rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted.

Pour in white wine and stir until mostly absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.

Begin adding warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently.

Add the saffron mixture after the first ladle of broth.

Continue adding broth gradually, stirring often, until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Let rest for 2-3 minutes to thicken before serving.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
