Risotto con Zucca e Pancetta
Risotto con Zucca e Pancetta
(Risotto with Squash and Pancetta)
 
Ingredients:
 
6 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons extra virgin 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 cheese
Additional grated Parmesan cheese
 
Directions:
 
Bring broth and wine to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat; keep hot.

Heat olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add pancetta; saute until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Add squash and onion; stir to coat.

Add rice; saute 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.

Mix butter and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese into risotto.

Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon risotto into bowl. Serve, passing additional Parmesan cheese separately. Serves 6 as a first course.
 
That's it!
