I discovered this recipe when I was hanging out with my vegetarian boyfriend for a week and attempting to cook for him. :)
Sautee onion in olive oil, butter, and salt in a medium pan over medium heat.
Heat sauce and broth in separate pans until they are almost simmering. You need to keep them at this 'almost simmering' state the whole time. The keys to a good risotto are lots of stirring, patience, and making sure your broths are hot when added to the rice.
When onion is soft but not brown, add the rice to the onion mixture and stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in the wine to the rice and stir until the wine is absorbed.
Then, pour a ladle full of broth into the rice mixture and stir until it is fully absorbed.
Then, pour a ladle full of the tomato sauce into the rice (along with some of the herbs) and stir until it is absorbed.
Continue alternating in this fashion between the broth and sauce (waiting until each is absorbed before adding the other) until the sauce runs out, and then just continue ladling the broth. This should take about 25 minutes.
When finally the rice is no longer crunchy (more al dente) add the last ladle of broth and the cheese. Stir until both are absorbed.
Serve immediately.
