GREEN ZUCCHINI, PEA AND LEMON RISOTTO
My heart screams pasta, but sometimes I mix it up with risotto when I get a craving for some creamy italian food. This one is super fresh and not too heavy. There is a spring/summer feeling about it which I like. It’s topped with pea shoot which looks good and taste great as well!
