  4. Season puree with salt and pepper.
  5. In the cleaned skillet cook zucchini in 1 tablespoon remaining butter over moderate heat, stirring until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. In a saucepan heat broth and keep at a bare simmer.
  7. In a heavy 2 to 3-quart saucepan cook shallot and garlic in remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat until very soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.

  10. Add about 1/2 cup simmering broth and cook, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed.

  12. Remove pan from heat and stir in pepper puree, zucchini, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Sprinkle risotto with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serves 4.
