Today a new super easy recipe but one that will amaze me with its goodness: a risotto with zucchini flavored with lemon.
I have the habit of writing down recipes even those that I find around or that I suggest to friends and acquaintances. If I’m at home I prefer to do it writing on Moleskine, but if I’m out and running I use the notes on the phone. I must have gotten into the habit from my maternal grandmother, who wrote everything down in her recipe book. Who like me has this habit?
I’ll start by telling you that in this recipe you need natural, untreated lemons, because only the zest is used, but if you don’t particularly like the scent of lemon you can safely omit it it from the preparation.
For a personal matter, I always use light zucchini, but you can use the ones you prefer, even the yellow ones.
Zucchini and lemon risotto is a very quick dish to prepare that will help you especially on those evenings when you arrive and you don’t know what to prepare. Nea’s word.:)
