Pasta Risotto with Asparagus Recipe
Ingredients
| Orzo pasta | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1 1/2 cups each chicken broth and water | ||
| 2 cups 1-inch-long asparagus pieces | ||
| Parmesan cheese | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs), grated | |
Directions
In a 2- to 3-quart pan, combine pasta, broth, and water.
Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Add asparagus and continue to simmer until pasta has absorbed almost all liquid and mixture is like a thick soup (7 to 10 more minutes); stir often to prevent sticking.
Stir 1/4 cup of the cheese into pasta mixture, then divide between 2 warm plates.
Offer additional cheese to add to taste, if desired.
