Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
1 1/4 cups orzo (about 8 ounces)
3 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon (loosely packed) saffron threads, crushed
1 pound slender asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Parmesan cheese shavings

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto and sauté until almost crisp, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet over high heat. Add orzo; stir 1 minute. Add broth and saffron; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until orzo begins to soften, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add asparagus; cover and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover; simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in prosciutto and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Garnish with Parmesan shavings.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this dish turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much orzo. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful to follow the instructions.

This dish was just okay. The saffron didn't really add much flavor and the prosciutto was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The orzo was overcooked and the asparagus was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The saffron added a nice flavor, but I found the dish to be a bit dry. I think adding a bit more broth or cream would help to make it more creamy and flavorful.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think I would use less prosciutto next time.
