I live in high altitude and found the cooking time on the recipe to be surprisingly accurate. I let it cook about 40 minutes total. I would recommend adding about 1/2 cup more broth than the recipe calls for. Substituting an aged white cheddar for the romano would help make it a bit more creamy as well. The more basil, the better! A great alternative to pasta, and pretty nutritious with the squash and pumpkin!

I tried this recipe last night, and found it took almost 90 min, and 4 more cups of broth. It was OK after that, but the squash still was a bit crunchy, but edible.
Actually the flavor was good, but the time factor was a BIG surprise.
Will make it again, but allow for the extended period of time.

I just have to comment that it has been 30 minutesin the oven.. and I uncovered it..still looks the same as when I put it in.. Not sure what's up..but going to cook it longer and see what happens..(I do have it on 400 as well
Its looked soooo good when Aida was making it but I'm worried..esp. with what others are saying..

Non-stove top risotto? I don't think so. I followed the recipe exactly. However, when I went to pull it out of the oven after 40 minutes, it was soup. The rice, when tasted, had barely been cooked in the slightest. The squash? Crunched like an apple. So I pulled it out and cooked it on the stove. Once completed, it tasted excellent. Although the squash never did get cooked enough, it could be eated around. Additonally, the recipe she cooked on the show is different from the recipe that is listed on this site. She said 5 cups of chicken broth. I even went back and rewatched the episode on my dvr where it was recoreded to be sure. Maybe it would work with only 4 cups, I wouldn't know; I did what she said to do on the show. Overall, I was extremely dissapointed by the way this recipe turned out and would recommend choosing a different risotto recipe.

This was really easy to make and so delicous. It turned out perfectly. Mine needed about 5 minutes longer to cook than stated in the recipe, but other than that, it was delicious!

i thought this section was to share comments about a recipe you actually made, not comments before you cook something. There are only 2 entries to help the cook.

I was dumb-founded by the fact that Aida used chicken stock in her "veggie" recipe. My husband didn't believe it, and insisted that we rewind to check. Yup, she used chicken stock. The mushroom stock was used for her pot pie recipe. What an unfortunate mistake on her part.

I cooked this for 45 minutes and my butternut squash was still raw. I cooked it longer and ended up with mushy rice and only partially cooked butternut. What a bummer! I always trusted food network recipes.

Aida in fact did make the risotto vegetarian on the show. She added mushroom stock, not chicken stock.

Use veggie broth! You can't claim this is a vegetarian dish when you use chicken broth. As a vegetarian if you served me this I'd be very upset.

Otherwise the dish looks good.
