- Bring the broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
- Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over moderately low heat and cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
- Add wine and simmer, stirring constantly, until absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Add 3/4 cup of the hot broth, the salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper and simmer, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed.
- Continue simmering and adding hot broth, about 3/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the broth to be absorbed before adding more, until rice is almost tender and creamy-looking, about 18 minutes.
- Add the spinach and peas and cook until the spinach is wilted.
- Add the asparagus and cook just until the vegetables are hot.
- Stir in the Parmesan and more broth if the risotto seems too thick.
- Serve in soup plates.
