Butternut Squash Risotto (LIMITED)

If Trader Joe’s had a made-for-TV holiday movie, we imagine an autumn romance heating up as the temperatures cool down, with some of our fall-inspired microwavable meals enjoyed by candlelight. The tension would grow as thick as creamy pasta sauce, until they finally confess their love: “You had me at Butternut Squash...”  

Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Risotto is imported from Italy and begins with Carnaroli rice sautéed with diced Butternut, onion, and white wine, then cooked to an al dente texture in puréed Butternut Squash, and finished with grated cheese and savory herbs. It's microwavable and ready to enjoy in just a matter of minutes. Serve as a side with baked Wild Sockeye Salmon and a simple Cruciferous Crunch salad.
