Squash Risotto

When we were in Verona it started to rain. We were hungry and looking for a place to get inside. We found a little restaurant that only had a few tables and was inhabited only with locals. Special of the day. Pumpkin risotto with red wine. Italian pumpkin is much sweeter than North American so we use butternut squash. You can use red or white wine depending on your preference. Or none at all. The original had butter and more cheese but this is pretty close.
