This was just absolutely excellent. I also didn’t use the cheese, it was amazing anyway.
The only point of contention I have is about the stirring. If you aren’t constantly stirring, you really miss out on the creaminess that happens when the starch is released properly. It’s totally worth the effort.
Thank you so much for the recipe! I will use it again and again.

YUM! This was delicious. I ended up adding a bit more wine towards the end, and I skipped the marscapone because I didn’t have any. I also used a regular lemon because I couldn’t find a meyer lemon. It was still SOOO yummy! Will definitely make this again.

This risotto had incredible flavor! Yumm! The lemon, fresh parsley and asparagus make it so light and refreshing! I think next time I would like to try adding some fresh shrimp! Thanks for posting!

ok – that was just about the best risotto I have ever tasted. I was savoring every bite! Definitely a keeper. My hubby gave it 5 stars (and he can be pickier), and the kids gave it 3 (which is a pretty good acceptance rate considering how “fancy” it was – they are 8 and 6yrs old). The lemon flavor was so amazing, and the asparagus perfectly cooked. It would be a great dish for entertaining. I used a Gewurztraminer for the wine since that’s what I had on hand, and is was soooo good in it. A chilled glass went nicely with the finished result as well! Thanks again!

Thanks for the compliments ladies! Risotto is always delicious, but I really liked the addition of the asparagus and lemon.

Belfiorebakers – please let me know (either here or on the blog) how it turns out! And definitely try the Stuffed Pizza Rolls. Oh man, they are so good!

Risotto is one of my favorite ways to enjoy asparagus. I like the addition of meyer lemon to brighten it up.

This risotto looks wonderful….I’ve recently made a lemon risotto, but it did not have the addition of asparagus, which I think makes it more special. Hope you stop by my blog to read the recipe that I made. Thanks for sharing! Roz (oh and I just sent you a friend request on TK too)
