Risotto Mantova with butternut squash

Butternut squash is the key word for this exquisite risotto, one of the delicious specialities of Mantua, prepared according to the traditional recipe, with natural ingredients and flavors.

Useful tips: combine it with butter and two slices of crumbled smoked salmon.

Wine-paring: Traminer Aromatico DOC or any other medium bodied white wine.

Ingredients: Carnaroli rice, butternut squash, natural aromatic herbs, salt.
