Perfumed butternut squash risotto
Italian cuisine
Autumn is to me the orange season: pumpkins, persimmons and red-yellowish leaves decorate homes, landscapes and also markets. A joy to the eye! Squash, of course, is the queen of orange vegetables. Though not very tasty if taken alone, you can cook it in a lot of different manners, all of them absolutely scrumptious. <br /> <br />Butternut squash risotto (or pumpkin risotto, as well) is a seasonal dish typically from Northern Italy (all the area around Mantua is famous for producing squashes). I personally adore risottos and this is one of my favorite. To enhance the squash flavor, I love to add some chili peppers (a gift for my husband) as well as cloves and nutmeg for a very perfumed and autumnal note.
