D’Avolio Butternut Squash Risotto

Made with authentic Arborio rice and rich, sweet butternut squash, this rustic blend of rice, vegetables, herbs, and spices cooks into a creamy, flavoring risotto, sure to warm the coldest winter evening. Fully seasoned and ready-to-cook, one quart of warmed stock or broth is all you need to create a delicious one-pan meal or side.

The secret to excellent risotto lies with the short-grain Arborio rice, the preferred risotto rice. Arborio is a high-starch, short-grain grown in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of Italy. Arborio rice is bred to be creamy and absorb great quantities of liquid while remaining firm and maintaining intact individual grains.

Risotto is a marvelous culinary expression of Italy, combining the wholesomeness of rice with quality flavorings and spices. Gentle stirring the rice while gradually adding warm stock or broth draws the starch out of the rice grains and creates the creamy consistency and al dente texture fundamental to risotto.
