Serves 6

- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ bunch green asparagus, cut on a bias
- 5 White button mushrooms, quartered
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into sticks
- 1 squash, cut into half moons
- 1 zucchini, cut into half moons

- 6 oz butter
- 1.5 cups Italian Arborio Rice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups Vegetable Stock, keep at a low simmer
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- ½ Grated parmesan cheese
Directions
- Pre heat oven to 375 degrees
- In a large bowl, put all cut vegetable and mix together with the oil, salt and pepper
- Once mixed well together, place on sheet pan and place on center rack in the oven and cook for 20 minutes
- While the vegetables are cooking, place a sauté pan on the stove top over medium heat, add the butter and melt.
- Once melted add the rice and incorporate the butter until well combined
- After about 2-3 minutes, add the wine and let sit until the rice has absorbed the wine.
- Once the wine is absorbed it is a 4 step process to cook the perfect rice
- Add the warm stock one cup at a time four separate times.
- Add the stock once you see the rice has almost absorbed all of the liquid
- After the fourth cup is added, turn the heat off before the liquid is all absorbed. Risotto is not supposed to be able to mold to anything easily. It is supposed to be left almost a little runny.
- Now that the risotto is done, remove the vegetables from the oven and combine with the risotto and mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
