how to prepare Asparagus risotto, easy and quick recipe

Let's start preparing the asparagus: remove the hardest part of the stem and, after having carefully rinsed them, cut them diagonally keeping the tips whole, so that they can also be used as an ornament. [1]
Separately, in a pan, brown the finely chopped onion in extra virgin olive oil. [2]

Add the rice [3], asparagus [4], toasting for about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in the white wine [5] and let it evaporate.
Once evaporated, add a little broth at a time with a ladle, stirring constantly until cooked. [6]

A little before the end of cooking, add salt according to your preferences.
Once cooking is complete, keep the heat off by adding the grated Parmesan [7] and the butter. [8] Stir for a few minutes to mix the ingredients perfectly.

We serve our risotto decorating each dish with a few asparagus tips and a sprinkling of pepper. [9]
