About Squash risotto
Squash Risotto is a creamy Italian-inspired dish that combines Arborio rice, roasted squash, and a blend of savory seasonings. Originating from the rich culinary traditions of Northern Italy, this risotto showcases the natural sweetness of squash, often butternut or acorn, paired with flavorful ingredients like garlic, onion, Parmesan cheese, and vegetable stock. Rich in beta-carotene, squash provides a boost of vitamin A and antioxidants, supporting eye health and immune function. The Arborio rice delivers a hearty source of carbohydrates for sustained energy, while the optional addition of a splash of olive oil or butter enhances the flavor and supplies healthy fats in moderation. While risotto is typically indulgent due to the creamy textures and cheese, it can be balanced with additional fresh herbs or reduced cheese for a lighter version. Squash Risotto is both comforting and nutrient-dense, making it a delightful seasonal dish for autumn and winter meals.
