Delicious Butternut Squash Risotto

Hey there, foodies! Today, I wanted to share a cozy and comforting fall recipe with you all. As the weather starts to cool down, there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of creamy risotto to make you feel all snug and happy inside. This Butternut Squash Risotto is a new spin on a classic dish that I can’t wait for you to try.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• butternut squash (diced) – 400g
• arborio rice – 300g
• onion (chopped) – 1 medium
• garlic (minced) – 2 cloves
• vegetable broth – 1 liter
• white wine – 1/2 cup
• butter – 50g
• parmesan cheese (grated) – 50g
• salt and pepper – to taste

To make this Butternut Squash Risotto, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• ladle
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant. Next, add the arborio rice and stir constantly for a few minutes until it becomes translucent.

Pour in the white wine and cook until it’s mostly absorbed by the rice. Then, begin adding the vegetable broth a ladle at a time, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next.

When the rice is almost cooked, add in the diced butternut squash and continue to cook until the squash is tender and the rice is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish off the risotto by stirring in the grated parmesan cheese until it’s melted and creamy. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this Butternut Squash Risotto.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with around 4 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

A unique tip for this recipe is to roast the butternut squash before adding it to the risotto for an extra depth of flavor and a slightly caramelized texture.

I hope you give this Butternut Squash Risotto a try and have fun making it your own with any additional ingredients you love. Enjoy!
