well earnt 
I' m a fan of risotto too, also much more than pasta. Really I don't know why are so green, but maybe because I have used fresh spinach and I have only blenched them for a few minutes in the boiled water.You could try and let me know 
..oh yes, this is a simple dish to do effectively! If you would try to cook, you can put as alternative the ricotta cheese ( very light) instead of taleggio or other kind of cheese most fats. Or nothing about this, only spinach, no butter no cheese. It's also good in this way, more simple but good! Your heart will give you a big THANK YOU 
..It's like a puree of spinach (without potatoes)..yesterday for my risotto with asparagus I made the same thing: put in a mixer and mixed with their boiled water (a little water) and voilà the asparagus cream...
