Ingredients
SQUASH Butternut squash can be switched out for other sweet winter squash like pumpkin, acorn, or even sweet potatoes! BROTH While I prefer the flavor of chicken broth, vegetable broth will work in this recipe too. RICE Arborio rice is my favorite rice for risotto. It is a short-grain rice found in most grocery stores and it produces a nice creamy dish. You can use other kinds of rice but it won’t be as creamy.

Tips for Success
Choose squash that is heavy, uniform in color, and free of blemishes or soft spots. Roasting the squash adds extra flavor. Ensure the broth is warmed before adding to the rice. The trick to perfect risotto is a very slow addition of liquid and stirring after each addition
