  • About

This risotto would be at home in northern Italy, as well as in Portugal, where they combine these same ingredients but bake the rice in a casserole. The sweetness of the squash and the onion are a wonderful contrast with the salty prosciutto and tender greens. For another accent, you may want to add tomatoes, too; “sweet 100” cherry tomatoes or an equally sweet summer tomato would be best, but canned are acceptable.
