This recipe's wow factor makes it perfect for special occasions. To save time, the asparagus and prosciutto can be roasting while the rice cooks on the stovetop. Then both will be ready to stir into the risotto by the time the rice is done. —Deonna Mazur, Buffalo, New York

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto
  • 5-1/2 to 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups uncooked arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Place asparagus in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 400° until crisp- tender, stirring occasionally, 20-25 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place prosciutto in another ungreased baking pan. Bake at 400° until crisp, 10-12 minutes. Crumble prosciutto; set aside prosciutto and asparagus.
  3. In a large saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a large skillet, saute shallot and garlic in oil until tender. Add rice; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in the wine and pepper. Cook and stir until all the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Add heated broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to absorb between additions. Cook until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender, 20 minutes.
  5. Add the asparagus, prosciutto and cheese; cook and stir until heated through. Serve immediately.
