  • Sharp kitchen knife
  • A sturdy wooden spoon.
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • A ladle for liquid.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh green asparagus.
  • 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth.

  • 1 small white onion minced.
  • 1.5 cups Arborio rice.
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Salt and black pepper.

Instructions
 

  • Wash the asparagus and trim the ends. Cut them into small, one-inch pieces.
