1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring broth to a low boil then reduce heat to low, keeping the broth just below a simmer. You want the broth to be about the same temperature as the rice while it’s cooking.
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-low, then add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir continuously until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds. Add rice to onion-garlic mixture, season with salt, and stir to combine. Continue stirring until rice is well coated and starting to become translucent, 2–5 minutes.
3. Add about ½ cup warm broth and a splash of wine to the rice mixture. Stir often, until rice has fully absorbed the liquid. Add the remaining broth in ½ cup increments, following each addition with a splash of wine and allowing rice to absorb liquid between additions, until rice is al dente, about 25–35 minutes. (You may not need all of the liquid.)
4. Remove pan from heat and add ½ cup cheese and pepper, stirring to combine. Cover and allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve with additional cheese.
