Really... this doesn't need much introduction. The girls were coming over for this month's Happy Girls Wine Club and I decided we needed something with some substance but not too rich heavy.
There are so many things I love about this recipe.
- Its super creamy and there isn't a lick of cream in it!
- Crockpot action eliminates the 45 minutes of carpal tunnel from stirring traditional risotto.
- Asparagus...
Crockpot Asparagus Risotto
Crockpot Asparagus Risotto. Making risotto in the crockpot is the best hack to making a creamy rich risotto without having to constantly mix it for 45 minutes.
