[...] Ezra Pound Cake’s Rebecca has a new BFF. And it’s name is Butternut Squash Risotto. It was love at first bite which prompted her to fill a bowl the size of her head with the risotto. I don’t Rebecca was the only one of us who fell in love with this risotto! [...]

[...] Butternut Squash Risotto: First, there are the sweet, peppery cubes of roasted butternut squash. Delicious on their own. But then you start simmering a little pot of chicken stock and sautéeing the pancetta and minced shallots in melted butter, and the smells mingling in the kitchen are nothing short of intoxicating. After about 10 minutes, you add the Arborio rice and a little champagne. (The recipe calls for dry white wine, but we are rich in champagne – one of the many benefits of getting married on New Year’s Eve.) And then you ask yourself, “What would Ina do?,” and pour yourself a glass. Recipe from Ezra Pound Cake. [...]

I made this risotto last night after reading about it on your blog, and it was indeed delicious! As I was only making it for myself, I just guessed at the amounts of each ingredient; and left out the saffron. Will definitely be making it again! Thanks for posting the recipe :D

I can not believe the timing.. I just sat down to do a bit of ‘foodgawking’ as a ladle of stock is lovingly absorbed into my risotto, and I see this picture!! It is like a sneak peek of my dinner… now I am impatient to eat it, but also glad I made an extra large serving!!!

I’m with you on this one, all the way. This was the best risotto I’ve ever made, hands down. I WISH I could’ve eaten more, but it was just a bit too rich for me… luckily that just means I can have it again the next couple days to finish up the leftovers :)

You really have a beautiful blog, and I love your photos.

I made this risotto this weekend for 3 of us! We ALMOST polished off the entire thing! I skipped the saffron simply because I cannot stand the flavor of it, but everything else remained the same. I even topped it with some toasted chopped hazelnuts for crunch which turned out to be a fantastic addition.
