we have a butternut squash in our house. i've been looking at it for the past week or so... finally i did some recipe research. i found a risotto, butternut squash, pancetta and jack cheese recipe that sounded amazing.
..okay we need some wine - sweet marsala.. oh but only 2 tbsp. what? god i don't want a whole bottle of that. hmm maybe we can forget that ingredient?
...do you think that we have to have monterey jack cheese. i know it's mild but we have a lot of cheddar at home. can't we use that instead?! (not to mention i'd rather have a little more flavor than good ole mj)
...we noted that we needed arborio or short-grain rice. we left without getting the rice!
...we needed tarragon. and no we didn't get that either. oh wait, mc61 points out the recipe says tarragon is optional, phew!
wow, this recipe is getting better and better sounding, huh?. but hey, at least, we have the "key players". the butternut squash. the pancetta. chicken broth. onion, garlic, and pine nuts.
so we're taking a detour from the original recipe. that's okay. i think it will still be good?! i mean we could make a cheesey squash, pancetta bake, which sounds yummy to me.
see it doesn't look that bad.
unless of course, you look at it in different lighting... see now it matches the tablecloth! oh yummy..
anywho, i'm sure somewhere down the road we'll attempt to make this again and the right way.
