This is creaminess three ways. First, the natural starches in Arborio rice, locking in all of the amazing flavors of shallot and garlic. Then, the squash itself, a little sweet, delicate, and earthy. And lastly, the cashew cream, rich and decadent. The wine and thyme bring out the savory nuance of the but- ternut, and you know what, risotto doesn’t have to be difficult. Everything is pretty simple, but still really special. Like you.
