About Risotto courgette

Risotto Courgette is a creamy Italian-inspired dish made with Arborio rice, fresh courgettes (zucchini), vegetable stock, onion, garlic, white wine, Parmesan cheese, and a touch of olive oil or butter. This comforting recipe highlights the simplicity of Italian cuisine, balancing rich and delicate flavors. Courgettes, the star ingredient, are low in calories and packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting digestion and overall health. The risotto’s creamy texture is achieved through the starch from Arborio rice, eliminating the need for heavy cream. While this dish is nutrient-rich, moderation is key due to the Parmesan and optional butter, which contribute saturated fats and sodium. For a lighter version, skip the butter or cheese, and swap in plant-based alternatives. Risotto Courgette is a wholesome choice, blending a tender bite with fresh, natural ingredients, perfectly suited for a comforting yet health-conscious meal.
