Asparagus Risotto with Proscuitto


Asparagus Risotto with Proscuitto

We love this high taste, low calorie recipe from SlimPasta.

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 150 grams of slimpasta angel hair
  • 150 grams of rice
  • 2½ cups (0.625 litres) chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 12½ grams of unsalted butter, chopped
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely crushed
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 2 thin sliced prosciutto
  • 1 table spoon finely grated lemon rind
  • 1 table spoon lemon juice, or to taste
  • Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 40 grams grated parmesan

Method

  1. 1Bring stock to the boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low-medium. Cover. Keep at a gentle simmer. Heat oil and half the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, then cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until onion is soft.
  2. Add rice. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until rice is hot and well coated in onion mixture.
  3. Add 1 cup hot stock and stir continuously until stock has been absorbed. Add another cup of stock. Stir until stock has been absorbed.
  4. Add asparagus to pan. Continue to add remaining stock, a cupful at a time, stirring continuously, allowing stock to be absorbed before adding more, until mixture is creamy and rice is just tender (this should take about 20 minutes) but still al dente; add a little extra stock or water if necessary. Prepare SlimPasta and cut finely. Add SlimPasta to mixture.
  5. Add lemon rind, juice, remaining butter, prosciutto and parmesan to risotto. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
