This broccoli parmesan risotto turns an Italian comfort food classic into a rich and creamy veggie delight that’s layered with broccoli rice, fresh parmesan cheese, and parsley. I love to enjoy a bowl of this with extra cheese on top, and it’s also a family favorite for holiday dinners.
This risotto recipe is cozy and comforting, and I love that it’s extremely adaptable to any flavor you throw at it. Of course, being someone who loves to sneak veggies into everything, I had to give it a try with some broccoli! And who doesn’t love a broccoli parmesan combination? One test bite and I knew this would become a fall and winter side dish staple alongside filet mignon, prime rib, shrimp scampi, and so much more, though it can also hold it’s own as a vegetarian main course.

Is healthy? As I'm in a weight loss journey
What's your favorite flavor combo for risotto? I'm thinking of adding a mushroom risotto, lemon asparagus risotto, and… what else? What do you enjoy?? xo – Lisa
Buenos días hermosa eso se ve delicioso 😋 lo prepararé sin duda bendiciones ❤🙏🏼
Green rice was a broccoli and rice casserole that was popular in my 1970s childhood. It was my favorite but I can’t eat it anymore because it deranges my blood sugar.
I noted lisa used her food processor..i know she did a video on food processor attachment for vitamix. I havent seen it used in recent videos. Is it not durable?
❤
I have done shrimp or prawn risotto using gallo carnaroli rice as it was discounted and the result still ok.
Lemon and asparagus sounds delicious!
I'm not a fan of risotto but this recipe deserves a second chance. 😊 looks delicious.
Is there anything you make that doesn't hit it out of the ballpark. Heavens above what a beautifully explained and demonstrated killer dish..I always come away so "up" !!! Great tip on pan you used for cooking such. Thank you Lisa…what a gifts you offer all of us! Boy, have you found your calling🎉
Need to try ASAP.
Can you make risotto with a brown rice?
I love pea and mushroom risotto. That's one of my faves as a side for scallops.
Amazing recipe video
Oh please do not add cream for a “creamier texture“ unless you calling at something other than risotto! No, no no that’s not Italian lol maybe a little more olive oil or something but no, please not not Creme. I’m tempted every time myself I understand, but no!
Love a mushroom risotto! Feels a bit more filling and hearty. Will definitely try this version though. 🙂
Lisa! The risotto looks yummy. Thanks so much for another great recipe. Can you please tell me what paint color in white you used for your kitchen? I'm in the middle of a remodel and don't want a sterile white, your new kitchen looks fab!
What size is your Le creuset brasier – 3.5 or 5 qt?
Looks like I will be making this , this weekend for sure…
Looks delicious ❤❤❤
I have to try this thanks ❤❤❤
Tomato , Olive and Capers or Zucchini and Lemon
Love mushroom risotto
The lemon asparagus one sounds great for spring too
Risotto needs high temperature
They both sound delicious 😋. But first I am gonna make this one 🥦❤
Chicken and bacon
your risotto looks super dry
I've been looking for new ways to add broccoli to my dinners. This looks so good!
YUM!!!
Lush
I adore you, have your book, cook your food, but girl this is a crime against broccoli😂
Adding heavy cream is a Italian dish
Asparagus lemon risotto would be fantastic….
Thank you.
Looks good but i don't eat rice anymore. Too many carbs.
Comfort food that is nutrition rich, broccoli 🥦 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
OK new kitchen!!!! Can't wait to try this 😋
I will try this soon. I like mushroom risotto, and lemon asparagus risotto. I use white wine in your Tuscan Chicken recipe.
