If you can't think of what to do with your leftover rice, start here. Be sure to cook your asparagus until it's just tender as it will cook a little bit in the skillet. The crispy bacon and crunchy pine nuts are a nice enhancement to the rice and asparagus combination. Be sure to use a good white wine when you cook. None of this cooking wine stuff, please. Enjoy!
