Suggest a better descriptionIn a Saucepan, bring stock and saffron to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low.
Meanwhile, cook oil and shallots over medium heat 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add rice; cook and stir 1 minute or until rice is evenly coated with oil. Add wine; cook 3-4 minutes or until wine is evaporated, stirring often with spoon.
Using Ladle, pour ½ cup of the hot stock into Skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes or until stock is absorbed, stirring constantly. Repeat with remaining stock in ½-cup increments, cooking and stirring 2-3 minutes after each addition until all but ½ cup of the stock has been added (15-17 minutes total cook time).
Add remaining ½ cup stock, asparagus, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper to Skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove Skillet from heat. Add cream cheese and stir until incorporated. Divide risotto among
serving bowls and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
Cook’s Tip: Keeping the stock hot during cooking ensures that the rice cooks evenly by not allowing the temperature of the rice to drop. Adding the saffron to the stock first gives the saffron time to infuse its exotic fragrance and yellow hue into the risotto.
