This makes a wonderful dish, it is really like a risotto.
Ingredients:
salt
1 cups arborio or other short-grain rice
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup zucchini, cut into julienne, or carrots or peas
1/3 pound fontina val d'aosta or other good semisoft cow's milk cheese, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, or more to taste
Directions:
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt as you would to cook pasta. Add the rice in a steady stream and stir. When the water returns to a boil, lower the heat and simmer the rice until it is tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain.
2. Put the butter in a saucepan large enough to hold the rice and turn the heat to medium. When the butter melts, add the zucchini and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir. Add the cheese and stir until melted, then add the Parmesan, stir again, and serve.
