Butternut Squash Risotto

I'm territorial about my kitchen. Ourdert came round yesterday evening threatening to make tea, but I faced her down and continued with the recipe I'd planned- a butternut squash risotto. I'm cooking a lot of real recipes from real cookbooks these days . This one was out of the BBC's GoodFood mag. It was lovely.

I don't believe I've cooked with butternut squash before. As far as the taste goes it might as well be swede, but the texture is something else- really smooth and melting.
