Servings: 4 as a main course, or 6 as a starter.
Though what we commonly think of as comfort food is often slow-cooked, it doesn’t have to be that way. This dish is what we like to call weeknight comfort food: a full-bodied squash risotto with crumbled bacon and flavor-boosting sage.
If serving as a starter, follow up the risotto with chicken or pork. Try Pork Chops with Maple-Ginger Pan Sauce.
I love risotto, so I appreciate seeing different ideas. I really like the addition of bacon and sage, adds some great flavours. Next time I would use a little less squash, and a little more bacon and sage.
Fantastic. Thank you for the guidance from the comments:
Slightly decrease amount of cheese
3 cups squash
Increase amount of broth- I used 1.5 qt
Increase amount of bacon if serving as main course (I doubled and it was not over powering at all).
