- Place asparagus in a large saucepan; add 1/2 in. of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and maintain at a simmer. In a large heavy skillet, cook onion in oil over medium heat until tender. Add rice and stir to coat well; cook 3 minutes longer. Add wine and cook until absorbed.
- Stir in 1 cup simmering broth. Cook until broth is almost completely absorbed, stirring frequently, then add another cup of simmering broth. Repeat until only about 1/4 cup of broth remains (discard remaining broth); the process should take about 20 minutes. Rice should be slightly firm in center and look creamy.
- Add asparagus; heat through. Remove from the heat; add the butter, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I've made this twice and although it tastes a little bland, I'm giving it 4 stars because I like that it is not as rich and high in calories as some risotto recipes that use heavy creams. The co...

This dish was very good! Tasted richer than I expected given the reasonable amount of oil. I recommend using small, tender asparagus for best texture. It served 4 people comfportably with bread ...

My first time making risotto and a few observations: It took a long time. I had to add 2+ additional cups of broth because the rice still had a crunch after the original amount. Stop when it's a...

This was my first time making risotto and I loved it! Super simple. I only used 1 1/2 cups of rice but it took a quart and a half of chicken stock to do the trick. Also added portabella mushr...

I made this recipe on Easter Sunday to go with lamb and it was a big hit. HOWEVER, I cooked it longer than the recipe called for by 20-30 minutes AND added an additional cup of broth and an add...
