Serves: 4
Ingredients:
• 320g Arborio rice
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 1 bunch of asparagus, chopped

Directions
Sauté all of the vegetables in 6 tablespoons of olive oil on a medium flame for 10 minutes, then add the rice and toast in the vegetables for about 2 minutes.
Add the white wine and let it evaporate for around 3 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and then begin to add the boiling hot broth a little at a time and let the rice cook for 15 minutes.
Remove the rice from the flame and add the grated parmesan and a knob of butter if desired to give the risotto a creamy taste. Stir lightly and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
