Some recipes become traditions, and this one has become exactly that for Becca and her family. Every year for her birthday, there’s only one meal she asks for is her mom’s butternut squash mushroom risotto!

While chatting with Becca, this was the recipe that came up right away. It’s her ultimate comfort food. In fact, the two of them have even made a deal: if Becca wants the risotto (when it’s not her birthday) she has to be the one to cut up the butternut squash. And if you’ve ever cut a butternut squash, you know exactly why that part of the bargain exists.

Like many beloved family dishes, there isn’t an official written recipe for this one! It’s the kind of meal that’s been made so many times that the steps are just known. So Becca checked in with her mom and searched for a recipe that felt closest to the way it’s made at home. She shared this version, which she believes comes pretty close to the original. https://casualfoodist.com/butternut-squash-mushroom-risotto/
