Risotto is a delicious Italian dish, but it can be heavy. By swapping cauliflower for rice and using just enough goat cheese, this recipe recreates the creamy texture while cutting down on calories and carbs. And adding vegetables to the dish packs even more of a nutritious punch. Spring asparagus delivers vitamins K, B12<\/a> and folate (which supports healthy brains and hearts), while the mushrooms<\/a> add a dose of vitamin D<\/a>. Bonus: The cauliflower will cook quicker than rice so you\u2019ll be out of the kitchen in under 30 minutes. Less prep, same flavor!<\/p>\n
