About Butternut squash risotto

Butternut Squash Risotto is a creamy Italian dish that combines Arborio rice, sautéed onions, garlic, and roasted butternut squash simmered in vegetable or chicken broth with white wine. This comforting meal is often enriched with Parmesan cheese and butter, giving it a luscious texture and flavor. Originating from Italy's tradition of rice-based dishes, butternut squash adds a natural sweetness and vibrant color, while delivering a boost of vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. This dish is a good source of complex carbohydrates and calcium, but its richness in butter and cheese may contribute to higher calorie and fat content, making moderation key for health-conscious eaters. Pairing it with a side of leafy greens can balance the meal’s nutritional profile while offering a hearty, flavorful experience fit for autumn or winter dining.
