It is a fresh and light dish, which is prepared in a short time and which can be enriched with many ingredients, to become a refined and elegant first course: risotto with zucchini has a very delicate flavor, capable of meeting even the taste of the little ones, and precisely because of its delicacy, it can be made more structured with the combination of shellfish, smoked salmon, toasted bacon slices or dried fruit, such as walnuts and hazelnuts. In any case you want to prepare it, the risotto with zucchini remains a pleasant and light first course.

The most suitable zucchini

The presentation of a dish is like a woman's dress: if it is well done, it adds value to the content itself. For this reason, not all courgettes are suitable for preparing this dish. The best are the Ligurian zucchini, small and with a light green streaked color: cut into rounds they are not larger than a small circle, have very firm flesh and do not flake during cooking. But of course it depends on the season and the availability of your trusted gardener!

And now the recipe for preparing risotto with zucchini

For this dish you will need 320 g of Carnaroli rice, 3 very firm zucchini, a red Tropea onion, a white onion, a carrot, a bay leaf, salt, peppercorns, 100 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a few leaves of fresh mint, extra virgin olive oil and butter.

Prepare vegetable broth putting in a large pot water, an onion, a carrot, a courgette, a pinch of salt, a few grains of pepper and a bay leaf and cook for 40 minutes over medium heat. Then strain and leave on the heat. Separately, fry the thinly sliced ​​Tropea onion in a pan with a knob of butter. When it is golden, add the rice, let it toast a few minutes and then cover it with two ladles of broth, which you will continue to add as it is absorbed by the rice. Halfway through cooking, add the diced courgettes, stir and finish cooking. When the rice is al dente, turn off, add the Parmesan, stir in a knob of butter, cover for 5 minutes and then serve, completing with a few leaves of fresh mint.

The most tasty cold pasta? We prepare it this way – Italian Cuisine


In our service dedicated to the Moon on the month of July, find the aromatic cold spaghetti, a simple and tasty cold pasta that we will use as a guide for this simple tutorial. The basic question is always the same: how can I prepare a light cold pasta, easy to evaporate at the same time? Let's face it: an exact formula does not exist. But we can ask for help from some key foods ready to turn the usual dish into something really unique and we will do it starting from the ingredients list of these delicious cold noodles.

To flavor the aromatic cold spaghetti of the July issue

Mozzarella, pitted Taggiasca olives, anchovy fillets in oil, radishes, fennel, basil, extra virgin olive oil, lemon

Mozzarella, the rich part

When we prepare a cold summer first course, we can limit the number of ingredients to make it lighter, but it is better to always identify an element that satisfies the palate and makes all our forkfuls full, but also gives a little substance. Yes to mozzarella, but also to tuna, prawns, grilled fish fillets, diced meats and cheeses such as provola, feta and pecorino.

Taggiasca olives, the succulent ingredient

Fleshy, tasty and aromatic: they are the ideal ingredient to give an extra boost to our dish. If we look for a bitter note, we focus on baked black olives, for a pleasant acid touch (which gives freshness) we use capers preserved in vinegar and washed, in oil for a more delicate taste.

Anchovy fillets, long live intensity

Anyone who thinks that anchovies only serve to salt is very wrong. Their flavor characterizes every dish with a hint of the sea that should not be underestimated. His alternative veg? The dried tomatoes are rehydrated in extra virgin olive oil.

Radishes, the crunchy note

Fresh, delicate and slightly spicy. We used radishes, but in other preparations we can try to replace them with raw peppers or cucumber slices.

Fennel, freshness

It lightens the intensity of the anchovy, gives freshness to the palate and is an aroma to which one cannot say no. If you want to take an extra step in this direction, try fresh mint leaves.

Basil, the scent

We don't want to give alternatives to this ingredient. Fragrant, delicate and intensely Mediterranean: the basil is unique and makes every cold pasta even tastier.

Extra virgin olive oil, the consistency

If you don't want your dish to have a sticky consistency, remember to season it with a generous amount of oil.

Lemon zest, the extra idea

In this case we have focused on its freshness, but feel free to replace it with equally aromatic ingredients such as lime juice, raisins or a few drops of mustard. In short, the point is not acidity, but taste.
