Here is an easy way to make dinner...like Italians do:
Creamy and mouthwatering risotto with asparagus

Italian risotto makes the perfect one-dish entrée that is fancy and elegant enough for a special occasion, but also easy and quick enough to make any weeknight dinner special.

My risotto today is made with fresh - and seasonal! - asparagus pan roasted and then blended in a creamy sauce that makes this risotto extra smooth and flavorful. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and black pepper for a simply sinful dish.

Take a look!

Wouldn’t you like to take this bite?!?

I feel that a lot of people might be intimidated by making risotto. I've heard it before: It's complicated and so time-consuming!

But really, it's not that complicated and it won't take more than 30 minutes of your time.

Check out my recipe below and you'll see that this risotto only requires one pan to cook it (cleaning at the end is a breeze!), a few delicious ingredients, and about half an hour!

Ok. Ok. There's a bit of stirring required. So make sure to turn on some music, pour yourself a glass of wine if you’d like (why not?!?), have your camera ready (you will want to immortalize your dinner creation), and watch the cooking magic happen!
