1Heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is fully absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each ladle of broth to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
Stir in the peas and asparagus, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
