    It's been a long time since I've cooked and/or eaten something this good!
    I adapted it a little....didn't have pancetta, so instead, I crisped up some prociutto and crumbled it on top. I also added a few leaves of chopped, fresh sage and a little bit of fresh ground nutmeg at the end too.
    soooooooo good!

    I made risotto once before but never this good. It was great and this recipe as very easy to make.The house smelled great and it didnt have the saffron and any wine - just used extra chicken broth instead. It still came out great. Thanks Ina for another great recipe.

    I've never made anything Ina recommended that came out less than perfect . . . and this is no exception . . . The recipe was very easy to follow and I followed it perfectly . . . IT WAS TERRIFIC! . . . and then I had leftover ingredients (pancetta and rice . . . so I tried again . . . but I lacked much of the other stuff . . . I used red onion (instead of the more subtle shallots and sweet potatoes (instead of the squash . . . and then even used shredded asiago cheese because the local grocery didn't have parmesan . . . IT WAS ALSO TERRIFIC! . . . not as delicate as Ina's recipe but her techniques are flawless . . . You are the best, Ina!!!

    This risotto was very, very tasty. I used bacon because I thought I had pancetta on hand but it was prociutto. The bacon worked fine, but make sure you drain off the rendered fat. I will definitely make this recipe again and again. Next time I'll be sure to have pancetta on hand. I think some fresh rosemary or sage would also work nicely in this recipe.

    The dish might have been very good but I followed it to the tea and my husband, daughter and I nearly gagged on it. Too many recipies these days call for way too much butter.. This dish may have been much better with about 1/6th of the amount of butter suggested.

    This was my first attempt at risotto and overall I'm very happy with how it came out. I think next time I'll either use homemade or low-sodium chicken broth though, because it was a tad too salty for my taste. I also might use less pancetta, as it overpowered the flavor of the butternut squash and the parmesean. This is a great base recipe (in terms of technique for a deliciously creamy risotto.

    Wow, this was so good! It was my first time making risotto and it was a huge success. It was super creamy and full of flavor. I didn't use saffron since I couldn't find it but it was still delicious. It made me look like a star in the kitchen. I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash but it was good in this recipe. Thanks Ina!

    Made this for the family tonight (with Tyler's pot roast and veggies and it was a wonderful cold weather dish. Unlike another review, we really loved the squash in it. This time of year the squash is so moist and flavorful and it really added another dimension to the rice. I didn't have the pancetta but we didn't feel anything was missing - will try it next time. We used 3 of Ina's recipes tonight and they were all (as always hits!

    Turned out perfectly- used bacon instead of pancetta, and left out the saffron. Huge hit at my pumpkin party.
