RISOTTO WITH COURGETTES

Another risotto we do really often and that we tried with so many shapes of courgettes.

We chose at the end the grated version because we find that the courgettes are becoming one thing with the risotto and giving it more a creamier consistence.

Even if we use butter to stir our risotto, you can make a vegan version of it and use some olive oil instead.

We love also to use a 1/2 glass of white wine and let it evaporate and we also enjoy a bit of parmesan on top but these two are two optional touches.
