About Risotto with peas and spinach

Risotto with Peas and Spinach is a creamy, comforting dish rooted in Italian cuisine. Made with Arborio rice, vegetable broth, and a touch of Parmesan, this dish balances indulgence with nutrition. The vibrant peas and spinach are rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, adding freshness and color to the creamy texture. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while the rice delivers a source of energy through complex carbohydrates. It’s a satisfying vegetarian option but can be adjusted for vegan diets by omitting or substituting the cheese. While risotto is slightly higher in calories due to its cooking method and starch release, its nutrient-packed greens and moderate portion size make it a wholesome, balanced meal. Perfect for a light yet filling dinner or as a side dish, Risotto with Peas and Spinach combines rich flavors with simple, wholesome ingredients.
