Butternut Squash Risotto

I love this recipe. It take a little while to make, and involves some stirring so needs a bit of patience, but the end result is super satisfying! It's nice and creamy and VERY filling. The recipe make a massive portion (as you can see from the photo) so you could halve it and have it with salad, or with a grilled chicken breast, whatever takes your fancy really! The boy likes his with bread, hence the photo has a ciabatta roll! I really hope you enjoy it as much as me!
