My husband made this for dinner tonight to compliment filet mignon. It was absolutely wonderful. It was a perfect balance of flavors to compliment the perfect medium rare prime cut of steak. This squash risotto was so delicious that I couldn't stop enjoying and getting into it even though there was a perfectly cooked steak right beside it and I LOVE STEAK! This risotto was a definite hit and would be a perfect side for any gourmet dish, it really is an exquisite and beautifully rich and tasty companion to any meal. 5 Stars all around, will definitely be having this in the future!
