1. Heat the broth in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat. Add the saffron to the broth to infuse its flavor.
2. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.
4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it's absorbed by the rice. Begin adding the warm saffron-infused broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next.
5. Continue adding broth and stirring for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
