Asparagus And Parsley Pesto Risotto Bake

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I didn't realise that asparagus was no longer plentiful and very expensive, so I chose to make this with broccoli instead, lightly steaming it and adding to the risotto as I would have, the asparagus. I had basil pesto in the fridge, and added a little lemon zest for that slight tang, which complemented the broccoli wonderfully. Easily prepared and flavoursome, thank you for a lovely recipe, much enjoyed! Made for Mommy Diva, Fight Like A Girl!!!
