Shrimp & Asparagus RisottoLearn to prepare risotto, a staple pasta dish enjoyed throughout Italy, with Olive Garden's Executive Chef Paolo Lafata.
This particular dish takes its inspiration from the Italian coast.
Made with carnaroli rice, large sautיed shrimp and fresh asparagus, it's a comfort meal with a twist your family is sure to love!

A fantastically simple asparagus soup, pureיd till its silky smooth, is always a winner. Delicious eaten hot (or cold on really hot days with the help of a little lemon juice). The poached egg on toast makes it for me, but of course you dont have to serve the soup with them. I usually poach a couple more eggs than I need in case of breakages in the pan! Ive made this for eight, but feel free to halve quantities or freeze soup leftovers.

This combination is a complete win-win. Any robust white fish like haddock or monkfish will work brilliantly, as would whiting and coley, as they are all wonderful carriers of flavours and can handle the stronger tastes of crispy smoked bacon and rosemary.
I love this recipe because it treats the fish almost like a piece of meat, with crispy and soft, flaky textures together.
