Dad's Asparagus Risotto image

This was one of my dad's quick recipes. You can always freeze unused parts of the asparagus for soup or stir frys. This is a quick and easy risotto to make. No fuss no muss you make it in the microwave in one dish. A nicely flavored dish. I hope you will enjoy this dish as much as we did.
