- get ready, this is where your arm muscles are put to the test.
- start adding the simmered broth, about half a cup at a time, continuously stirring it till it is completely absorded.
- after youve added about 4 cups of the broth, add in the trimmed asparagus spears so they can cook as you mix in the remaining 2 cups of broth.
- once ristto reaches desired consistency, take off heat and serve immediately.
- if you like, you can mix in some grated parmigiano reggiano cheese for an added level of creaminess.
your choice, butter, cremini mushrooms, shallot, sweet onion, stalks, clove of garlic, arborio rice, white wine
