List of Ingredients




1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2-inch lengths
5 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)


Recipe



Blanch asparagus pieces in large pot of boiling, salted water 2 minutes.
Drain. Rinse asparagus under cold water. Drain asparagus well.
