Loved it! This was so simple to make I couldn't believe it. I would add a little more cheese to make it a more thicker consistancy. Will make this again.

This recipe was incredibly easy and definitely convenient. Knowing that the asparagus can be subtituted for other veggies - the ingredients are staples in my house. I thought a whole onion would be a bit much - and I also didn't add the full amount of parmesan cheese. This was a great recipe - as a dinner OR side.

This side dish is very easy and full of flavor. I use green beans in place of the asparagus.

This dish was very delicious!! I made it for my family and they all loved it. It was very easy, and I am a ten year old.

This is a quick recipe, better with the thin asparagus. Love it.

My first attempt at making risotto and it tasted delicious. Followed the recipe almost to exact, except I ended up adding more liquid to the dish and cooking it longer for the rice to be finished. My fiance even enjoyed it and he's not a fan of asparagus.
