ButternutSquash In Rialto by Cook in Venice
It is a dish made of risotto rice (Vialone nano, Arborio or Carnaroli) with a very special and delicate flavor, given by its main ingredient, butternut squash and enhanced by the flavor of Parmigiano which is used to mantecare.
This is one of the most delicious and common risotto in Veneto – during Fall and Winter butternut squash/pumpkin is used in many dishes, but particularly with risotto. One of the best Italian Vegetarian recipes, easy and fast to prepare!
I’ve made this several times after I learned it in our class, I’m making it tonight. I cheated and bought precut squash cubes but otherwise it’s the same. I’m also making the bread. It’s freezing here in Chicago so hopefully this will warm us up and remind me of Venice!
So happy you are still using the recipe!!! Keep warm and Happy New Year!
