Fall is such a great time of year to cook. The weather is getting a little cooler so you can start to bust out some of those lovely warming dishes that would be absurd to cook during the middle of a scorching summer. The produce at this time of year is brilliant too, with the two theme ingredients in this recipe, Butternut Squash and Mushroom, being at their absolute peak. Butternut Squash and Mushroom risotto is a classic dish that\u2019s been around for as long as I can remember, and this recipe relies on traditional cooking approaches to nail a perfect dish every time

Best Squash and Mushroom for a Risotto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do feel this comes down to personal preference, however when it comes to Squash the gold standard has to be Butternut Squash. It is such a sweet flavored vegetable which cuts through brilliantly with this dish. The earthiness of the Squash also pairs exceptionally well with the Mushrooms making it a clear winner

Regarding what mushrooms to choose, again the field is wide open on this one. I\u2019d suggest Cremini Mushrooms and Portabella Mushrooms however Shiitake and Porcini are also good choices. If you want to get a little fancy and splash out some cash then Morel mushrooms would be another brilliant choice. Morels have this amazing nuttiness that tastes beautiful when pan fried with a lot of Butter! For this recipe we\u2019re sticking with the Cremini just to keep things simple
