Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups water
1/2 tsp salt, divided
3 cups (1-inch) sliced asparagus (about 12 oz)
1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
1 tbsp butter
2 large eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, divided
3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Bring 3 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in large saucepan. Add asparagus; cook 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon; rinse under cold water, and set aside. Add rice and butter to cooking liquid; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Set aside.
Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt and eggs in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until well-blended. Add 3/4 cup cheese, 3 tablespoons chives, basil, lemon rind, and pepper; stir well. Stir egg mixture into hot rice. Stir in asparagus; cook rice mixture over low heat for 1 minute or until mixture is thoroughly heated. Top with 1 tablespoon each of cheese and chives.
