Cuisine: Italian
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 30 to 35 minutes
Total Time: 60 to 65 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium to large yellow or white onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt 
• 1 cup Arborio rice (naturally gluten-free)
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (try my homemade vegetable broth recipe)
• 6 ounces spinach (I prefer organic and stems removed)
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (fresh grated is the best)
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch slices
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat olive oil, onion and salt on medium in an ovenproof medium pan for about 5 minutes. When onion is soft add rice and stir.
   
2. Add all the spinach, nutmeg and the broth. Stir until the spinach is wilted and mixed into the rice and broth.
   
3. Add the asparagus and half of the Parmesan. Mix thoroughly and smooth out the top.
   
4. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
   
5. Place into a preheated 375-degree F oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
