As usual, Giada does not disappoint. This recipe is really easy but a little time consuming because you really have to babysit the risotto. This was my first time making it and it was delicious. The vanilla really adds something interesting.

FANTASTIC!!!! I had to make a few alterations because I was missing things.
1. I had brown rice aborrio.
2. I didn't have a vanilla bean so I used vanilla extract.
3. I did add a dash of cinnamon!
4. I was out of butter, but I had EVOO.
5. I didn't have any stock but I had chicken boulionn so I made 4 cups using the cubes.
6. Instead of 25-30 minutes, it took an hour, that's because of the brown rice aborio.

Absolutely delicious!!! I will definitely make this again!

this was sooooo good, esp on a chilly day. The touch of vanilla left a wonderful hint in the rice and the fresh squash...very good.

This risotto was so tasty! I loved it. Perfect for a Fall/Winter dish. Highly recommend. I wasn't sure if it would be too sweet using the vanilla bean, but it wasn't at all!

I followed the recipe completely up until the end. I thought it was very good but need something. So I added a little nutmeg and just a pinch of ceyenne and black pepper. I think that this would be a great side dish to a spicy main dish.

I have been doing the butternut squash risotto for a while and I have to admit this one with the vanilla was very tasty. I suppose if you didn't enjoy it you didn't do it properly.

This recipe is amazing - so delicious! Although the vanilla bean was rather expensive, the taste is very nice, and I think it was worth it. The onions were excellent as well, they really take on all of the flavors nicely.
I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and I left the squash in the broth the whole time the rest of the risotto was cooking (it wasn't tender enough at the end of five minutes.

Awful! The squash had no seasoning and the rice was very bland. No one liked this except for the dog.
