About Risotto with spinach and carrot and onion

Risotto with Spinach, Carrot, and Onion is a wholesome Italian-inspired dish combining creamy risotto rice with vibrant vegetables. The base includes Arborio rice, known for its starchiness, which gives the dish its creamy texture without needing heavy cream. Fresh spinach delivers a dose of iron, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, while carrots add a natural sweetness along with beta-carotene for eye health. Onions add depth of flavor and are a source of fiber and vitamin C. Prepared with vegetable stock and minimal added fats, this risotto can be a balanced, vegetarian-friendly option. However, due to its rice content, it can be high in carbohydrates, so portion control is key for those managing caloric or carb intake. Overall, it's a nutritious, comforting dish that captures the essence of Italian home cooking.
