Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat Olive Oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes slightly translucent at the edges.
Gradually add the vegetable stock, about 50 ml at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.
Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the blue cheese until melted and evenly distributed throughout the risotto.
Add the fresh spinach, stirring through until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, rich flavors of the blue cheese and the freshness of the spinach.
