I'm not a fan of butternut squash, so I wasn't sure if I would like this recipe. But I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were great and the risotto was very creamy.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different risotto recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my risotto turned out a little too bland. I think I'll add more salt and pepper next time.
