Butternut Squash Risotto
—————————————————————-

In this Piatto™ video recipe, we’ll learn how to make creamy, restaurant style butternut squash risotto with fine sweet Italian gorgonzola cheese (aka: ‘Gorgonzola Dolce’).

This butternut squash risotto recipe is restaurant quality and can also be made with pumpkin (in which case it would be ‘pumpkin risotto’). Authentic italian risotto recipes like this one include a ‘sfumato’ with white wine to infuse the toasted rice with flavor and the ‘mantecatura’—where fat like butter or cheese is melted into a dish to finish it off.

Use a well-insulated skillet to make the risotto—here, we use a 3-ply stainless steel skillet.
