Parma Ham & Asparagus Risotto image

This is a recipe I found in a cooking magazine years ago that has become a real family favorite. Comfort food at it's best. You can substitute leftover chicken for parma ham or leave out the meat and go vegetarian (maybe adding some mushrooms).

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. I think I might have used the wrong kind of rice.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less butter and cream. The flavors were good, but it was just a bit too heavy.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the asparagus was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I'm very disappointed.

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I thought this risotto was pretty good. The rice was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced. I would definitely make it again, but I might try a different vegetable next time.
