ROSEMARY ASPARAGUS RISOTTO
3 C. vegetable or chicken broth
1 C. Italian arborio rice
1-2 shallots chopped
bunch of asparagus
few sprigs of fresh rosemary
4 TBSP of butter
some olive oil
1/4 C. grated cheese
In a sauce pot simmer the vegetable broth. Sautee shallots and rosemary in 2 TBSP butter and a little olive oil in a heavy pot. Add the asparagus and cover the pot to allow it to steam for a few minutes. Add the risotto and sautee for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper. In 1/4 C. increments add the simmering broth to the risotto, stirring constantly, until all the broth is absorbed before each new addition. This should take about 20 minutes. With the last broth addition add the cheese and the rest of the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Che squisitezza,
Carissima,
The risotto dish is, an interesting recipe as it avoids the ever present chicken soup that I abhor. A truly vegetarian dish. And that photo; you can almost taste the food.
Keep it up.

No chicken stock! I love those veggie broth packets from TJs...your favorite place. Nice flavor and so easy. They have some chicken broth packets which I will buy especially for you!
