One of the best things we've cooked lately (and we've cooked some delicious things!). The risotto was to die for. Buttery and rich without any butter? It doesn't get much better than that. The cornmeal shrimp were a nice contrast to the creamy risotto - try using the same cornmeal crust on other things, such as chicken or fish even. We will definitely be making this risotto again (and as you can see, that's not something we do often!) Just remember that the squash needs to cook for quite a while. We have a tendency to find a recipe, and not really read through it until 5:30 or 6:00 when we start cooking. Which is a fault on our part, because usually by that time, our stomachs are rumbling and we get a bit impatient. Seeing '1 hour' in any recipe can easily turn what was supposed to be tonight's dinner into tomorrow's dinner. This one, however, was easy enough to speed up. Just (carefully!) chop up the uncooked squash into chunks (halve the squash, then quarter each half). Smaller
