Notes

Parmesan: you can use Pecorino if that is what you have. Gruyère also works well. Alternatively, swap for a vegetarian-friendly cheese that doesn’t use animal rennet – you want a hard cheese with a relatively strong flavour (a mature Cheddar would work). 

Mascarpone: This zucchini risotto uses mascarpone at the end to make it extra rich, but you could use a knob of butter or a drizzle of cream instead.

Toasted nuts: a sprinkling of roughly chopped toasted almonds, pine nuts or hazelnuts would add a delicious crunch to the finished dish if you want to add some texture.

Pesto: this would also be delicious drizzled with fresh basil pesto. You could buy a pot (always choose the chilled variety) or make your own using my Pesto al Pistacchio recipe.

Delicious. My first risotto and I will definitely repeat. I left out the mozzarella as I thought that it was naughty enough as it was! Thank you.
