Start with the dishes that require longer cooking times, such as the Parmesan Herb Risotto, and work your way to the quicker sides like the Roasted Asparagus with Lemon. Feel free to customize the side dishes based on your preferences and dietary restrictions. For example, you can use dairy-free alternatives for lactose-intolerant individuals or adjust the seasoning to suit your taste.
