Broccoli and Cheese Risotto

So I love creamy macaroni and cheese with broccoli but it's usually loaded with too much fat..
This is a good alternative as it has all of the creaminess from the arborio rice and cheddar flavor I crave.

Start by simmering 7 cups of broth (I use a low-sodium bouillon). Steam the broccoli and set aside.
Saute garlic for 1-2 minutes, add 2 1/2 cups of arborio rice, 2 Tb of lemon juice and 1 tsp black pepper. Cook on medium for 2 minutes. Start adding broth 1/2 cup at a time. Wait for the liquid to be absorbed before adding more and stir constantly!

Once all of the liquid is absorbed add in your broccoli and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and cook on low for 5 minutes. Time to serve! I added a little more cheddar on top to add the extra flavor. Next time I will add some cumin for more flavor which goes great with cheeses.
