Steps(4)
- 1
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium pot or sauté pan. Add rice, and stir for 2–3 minutes, coating the rice well with the oil.
- 2
Add ½ cup of the broth, and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is almost all absorbed. Continue adding ½ cup broth at a time using this same method, until the liquid is creamy and the rice is cooked through but not too soft, about 20–25 minutes total.
- 3
With your last addition of broth, add the asparagus. Stir in the peas about 2 minutes before the risotto is done. Remove from heat and stir in the ranch dressing, using more or less depending on how loose you want the risotto.
