1 1/2 cups arborio rice |
4 cups chicken broth |

1 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in the pan and add the onions on medium-low heat. 2. Cook for 4 minutes, then add the garlic. 3. Cook for 1 minute, then add the rice. 4. Stir until well coated. 5. Add 1/2 cup of stock to the rice, stirring until absorbed. 6. Then add the asparagus. 7. Continue adding the stock in 1/2 cup increments, stirring after each addition until the stock has been absorbed. 8. (Should take about 20-25 minutes.)
