1 T Olive Oil
1/2 C Diced Onion
1/2 tsp Salt
1 C Arborio Rice
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
2 C Chicken Stock
8 oz Fresh Spinach
1/2 C Parmesan Cheese, Divided
1 Bundle of Asparagus (ends trimmed, cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces)


Grease a 13x9 pan and preheat oven to 400.

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt; cook until translucent. Add Arborio rice and toss to coat. Stir in chicken stock and nutmeg; bring to simmer. Add spinach one handful at a time until all spinach is wilted. Stir in 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.

*Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes if you prefer a drier dish.
