Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sized deep sided pan. Add the garlic and stir for a minute. Add the onion and stir, cook for a further 5 minutes until the onions are light golden and soft.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook them down for about 8 minutes until golden brown and soft.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the rice. Stir well to coat and let it fry for 1 -2 minutes until the edges become a little translucent.
Add all the wine at once and stir well. Let the wine evaporate completely, about 2 – 3 minutes.
Add one cup/240 ml of vegetable stock and stir well. Occasionally stir until it evaporates, about 3 minutes.
Add another cup of stock, stir well and leave to cook stirring regularly until the stock has evaporated., about another 3 minutes or so. Add another cup and repeat. Repeat until you have about 1/2 cup/120 ml of stock left.
Add the spinach, cheese, fresh basil, and salt. Stir well and immediately remove from heat.
Garnish with a little extra parmesan and basil if desired. Serve immediately.
