Best Recipe for Risotto with Squash and Pancetta

Ingredients

  • 6 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 ounces pancetta, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled butternut squash (about 18 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cups arborio rice
  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • Additional grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Bring broth and wine to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat; keep hot.
  2. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add pancetta; sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add squash and onion; stir to coat. Add rice; sauté 1 minute. Add 2 cups hot broth mixture. Adjust heat so that liquid bubbles gently. Stir until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding hot broth 1 cup at a time until rice is just tender, simmering until liquid is absorbed before each addition and stirring often, about 20 minutes.
  3. Mix butter and 2 tablespoons Parmesan into risotto. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon risotto into bowl. Serve, passing additional Parmesan separately
