Butternut Squash Risotto, Vegan Gluten-Free

Risotto is elegant enough to serve at a nice dinner party, but can be enjoyed any night of the week with this easy recipe.   You can garnish your Butternut Risotto with some fresh, chopped herbs like thyme or sage for an extra level of flavor.   The recipe calls for a blender or food processor and I highly recommend the Blendtec Blender !  and check out my Blendtec review HERE!

    (Butternut Squash Risotto, Vegan Gluten Free) This butter nut squash for risotto sounds really good to me. My brothers and I just made a shrimp and parmesan cheese risotto together last weekend and it turned out really good. It was so yummy tasting too.
