Isa Does It pesto risotto

I have made several recipes from Isa Does It, and I have liked them all. The tastiest so far is actually what I would have thought of as one of the simplest: the Pesto Risotto with Roasted Zucchini. (Recipe available here.)

I have roasted a lot of zucchini in my time, but there is something about the proportions called for in this recipe that make it THE BEST ROASTED ZUCCHINI EVER. I almost always use brown rice to make risotto, and it always turns out just fine (it just takes a little longer).

(PS do you like my red depression glass dishware? I don't have a lot, but what I do have, I have achieved through constant monitoring of ebay sales for reasonably priced dishes. I love it.)
