Sooo good! I made this for my boyfriend and I and he absolutely loved it! He's not even that big of a risotto fan and he was impressed with how great it came out.

Delicious!! This recipe couldn't recipe be easier. My husband and I just loved it. I will reduce the salt the next time! I had some roasted butternut squash from a previous meal, and I just incorporated the cooled squash into the risotto....Yummy!

You should've used a colon rather than a semi for your first sentence. Great recipe although you should always salt to taste.

And made it even though I was a risotto virgin....Hey Kiki....might want to try not being so condescending in your write-ups. Quite a turn off.

I grew up with risotto. I've made it will all different ways. But with the addition of the saffron and the squash it takes it to a whole different level. This is my husband's favorite.

Very good risotto, I loved how creamy it was. I would definitely make this again, maybe a variation on the squash because my husband is not a fan.

I had thought that Risotto was hard to make.. no so!!

This is a 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++. My wife was a bit skeptical.. But this morning, still can't stop talking about it..

Thanks

This was yummy but super decadent! My husband literally licked his plate. I used proscuitto instead of panchetta.... wish I would have subbed bacon. I feel it needed something smoky to diversify the flavors.

I've made this a couple of times now. As with most of Ina's recipes, I cut the salt and butter amounts in half, and my family likes it this way. Also, I substituted a good quality chicken sausage for the pancetta, and served it as a main dish. Rave reviews all around. Does well heated up the next day in the microwave, too. Don't make this if you're in a hurry--you really do need to be in the kitchen the whole time, stirring often and adding stock frequently. A good exercise in patience, with delicious results.
Thanks Ina!

I've actually been a huge fan of Barefoot's for years. I own all of her cookbooks and have learned so much from her. This is, however, the first time I've ever reviewed a recipe!

I made this tonight alongside her roast chicken. With all of her recipes I usually half the butter and change it a tad (with the chicken i rub olive oil instead of butter on the outside of the bird and with this I nixed the pancetta and used a little less butter. it was amazing. there were a lot of complaints of it being to salty in other reviews so i salted to taste.

that being said, my family LOVED this recipe. it was truly so incredibly delicious, decadent, and simple to make. it took a lot of the burden making the squash earlier in the day then just dealing with the risotto. LOVED IT!
