Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups arborio rice
1/4 cup white wine
2 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 bunch italian parsley, chopped
1 minced garlic clove
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp whipping cream
1/2 cup pine nuts
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 1/2 lb)
5 cups vegetable broth (approximately )
more water or broth , as needed

Directions:

On medium heat, add butter and olive oil to pan and swirl until entire pot is coated.
At the same time, bring broth to a simmer in a separate pot.
Add onion and stir; sauté for 2 minutes.
Add chopped rosemary, Italian parsley, and pine nuts.
Sauté for 3 more minutes.
Add garlic and rice and sauté for 1 more minute.
Be sure not to let the garlic brown.
Add the wine and cook until absorbed, about 30 seconds.
Add 3/4 of the simmering broth and stir.
Watch over rice carefully.
When most liquid has been absorbed, add the rest of the broth.
Simmer the rice for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
(NOTE: If the rice begins to stick to the bottom of your pan, add more water, 1/2 cup at a time until absorbed. You need to add more water if no liquid is visible in the pan, 1/2 cup water until absorbed.) Meanwhile, wash, trim asparagus and discard ends.
Cut off asparagus tips.
Chop remaining asparagus stalks into bite sized pieces.
Add 1/2 of the stalks and stir, continue simmering for another 5 minutes, adding more water if needed.
Add asparagus tips and continue stirring often, adding more liquid as needed, cooking until rice is tender and mixture is creamy; about 8-10 more minutes.
Add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and cream and stir.
When blended, remove from heat.
Serve with salt, pepper and additional Parmesan to taste.
