Pumpkin Risotto

While I love our traditional butternut squash risotto, I wanted to mix it up and try out a new version this past weekend.  And what’s better than a creamy, flavorful pumpkin risotto when the temps take a major dip?  So, after cheering on our boys at back to back baseball games on Saturday (despite the high of 50 degrees and an unrelenting wind), I decided to thaw off in the kitchen and whip up this ultimate comfort dish.  Risotto takes patience as you methodically ladle the broth into the rice and constantly stir.  But, I find this process refreshingly therapeutic especially when accompanied by good music and a glass of wine.
