There are three reasons for which we adore this recipe: first of all, it needs only four ingredients and it’s ready in just a few minutes. Secondly, although it is as tasty as a risotto, it is much lighter: just some butter and no cheese, which is what really makes up for all the calories of a risotto. You can eat this with a light heart.
And last but not least: it’s delicious!
