Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 tsp olive oil
3 cups (2 inch) diagonally cut asparagus
2 cups chopped yellow squash
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup water
1 (32-oz) carton fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp butter
2 cups chopped leek
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup (2 oz) grated fresh parmesan cheese, divided
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme

Directions:

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and next 4 ingredients; sauté 10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Set aside; keep warm.
Bring water and broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 1/2 cups broth mixture; cook 4 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly.

Top risotto with vegetables; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
