Directions
We love risotto, its one of those meals that make you feel like youre eating out in a fancy restaurant, or that you know youre way around the kitchen. Truth is, its really not complicated at all, it just requires patience. Some of my favorite risotto recipes are Spring Asparagus Risotto, Creamy Mushroom Risotto, Seared Scallops over Wilted Spinach Parmesan Risotto and this grain-free Carrot Rice Leek and Bacon Risotto.,Making risotto is a labor of love. You have to be patient, stirring the rice and adding more broth a little at a time. But in the end you get a delicious restaurant quality dish that you can proudly say you made yourself, without all the added butter you would get if you ate this dish out.,I started with some homemade squash puree which I simply made by boiling the butternut squash in broth or water, then pureeing in the blender. You can use the rest for this Spaghetti with Creamy Butternut Leek Pasta later in the week.,Roasted Seasoned Winter Squash Medley,Maple Roasted Butternut Squash,Roasted Butternut Squash Noodles,Roasted Butternut and Brussels,Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup
