Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the slices of prosciutto on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until the prosciutto slices are almost completely crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. The slices will crisp up even more as they cool. Reserve for garnish.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Blanch the asparagus in the chicken stock for 2 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon. Set the asparagus aside and keep the chicken stock at a low simmer.
- In another medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallot and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat in the butter. Continue toasting the rice, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes more. Add the Champagne and simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking the rice, adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of broth to absorb before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes total. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the asparagus, remaining butter, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Spoon the risotto into serving dishes and garnish by breaking the crisp prosciutto into smaller pieces over the top of the risotto. Serve immediately.

2-INGREDIENT PUNCH (MOCK CHAMPAGNE PUNCH)
I've been making this punch for years. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asks for the receipe and then thinks that I'm truly keeping it a secret because they cant believe it only has 2 ingredients. It is the easiest, most light and refreshing compliment to any shower, tea or party gathering. It's beautiful looking too and matches any theme or color. You can make it for a few people up to 100's and still, it is a money friendly punch because it has only 2 ingredients. But don't let the 'only 2' ingredients fool you. It's delicious! (Some people say it reminds them of champagne.) Kid friendly, teen friendly, adult friendly. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place white grape juice and ginger-ale in refrigerator overnight or until well chilled. Placing them in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving will make them 'icy' and everyones favorite.
- In a serving picture or punch bowl, pour equal parts white grape juice and ginger-ale. Stir gently. Fill each glass, and if you want garnish with frozen fruit.
- Optional Garnish: On a lined cookie sheet, place the fruit(s) in a single layer but not touching, into the freezer for several hours until frozen (or overnight). After they are completely frozen, they can be bagged together as long as they stay in the freezer so they don't stick together. Then use one of each fruit to garnish each glass. It is beautiful and also keeps it colder longer and doesn't water down the flavor.

PINK CHAMPAGNE CAKE
This is a very easy to make cake that tastes elegant! I got this out of a magazine years ago and every year i have to hunt for it so now am posting on Zaar for safe keeping. UPDATE: There used to be a white cake mix that had no oil added to it but it has since been discontinued. For the cake mix use the specified amount of oil on the cake mix box and amount of eggs. this is just to replace the water.

Steps:
- Use a box of white cake mix (NO pudding) and substitute champagne - 1/2 to 3/4 cup to replace all of the liquid called for in the cake mix. So if the box says 3/4 cup water replace with 3/4 cup champagne. I did use one that had 1 1/4 cups water and replaced with champagne, just depends on the cake mix brand you buy. The kind of champagne/sparkling wine (pink, white, sweet, dry) used will determine the flavor. I usually just buy the cheap pink sparkling stuff in the grocery store, it's sweet and yummy in this!
- Tint with red food coloring to a soft pink, use a drop at a time, this stuff will stain, probably take about 3 drops.
- Bake cake as instructed on box. I usually make in 9x13-inch pan, but for an elegant layer cake use two 9 round cake pans, a heart pan would be perfect for Valentine's Day!
- Creamy champagne frosting:.
- Beat 1 cup softened butter for 30 seconds. Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar.
- Beat in 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup champagne, and 1 TB vanilla.
- Beat in 5-5 1/2 more cups powdered sugar till you can spread it or is consistency you want.
- Add red coloring till pink color, again slowly add a drop at a time till color you want. Frost completely cooled cake.
- This is excellent served the next day after being refrigerated all night so the flavors can blend!
PEACH CHAMPAGNE

Tips:
- Choose the right champagne. Not all champagnes are created equal. When choosing a champagne for your recipe, look for a brut or extra brut variety, which will have a dry, crisp flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients in your dish.
- Use chilled champagne. Always chill your champagne before using it in a recipe. This will help to preserve its flavor and bubbles.
- Add champagne at the end of cooking. Adding champagne too early in the cooking process can cause the alcohol to evaporate, resulting in a flat flavor. Instead, add it towards the end of cooking, so that the flavors have a chance to meld together.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to use champagne in cooking. Try adding it to sauces, marinades, or even desserts. You may be surprised at how well it complements different flavors.
Conclusion:
Champagne is a versatile ingredient that can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any dish. Whether you're using it in a savory or sweet recipe, be sure to follow these tips to get the best results. With a little creativity, you can create delicious and memorable dishes that will impress your friends and family.
