la noche de risotto / risotto night

I'm still taking Spanish classes with Roberto who's philosophy is people can only learn Spanish by having fun and  loves teaching Spanish by having his students use Spanish. Last night three of his students (my friend Allie, Cian, and I) had a cooking night/class with Roberto. Cian's mom is an awesome chef in Ireland and has a cookbook, From Lynda's Table. Roberto uses this cookbook for his classes sometimes by having students pick out a recipe and translate the recipe out loud for him.

I happened to pick the Buttnernut Squash Risotto recipe a few weeks ago and said something along the lines of "yum can I take a picture of this recipe, I want to make it". Roberto replied saying better than that, lets have a night where her son (another of Roberto's students) cooks it for us while using perfect español. Soon we had planned a risotto night. Allie and I were put to work by Cian cutting copious amounts of butternut squash while the risotto started to cook. After some yummy malbec wine, pureeing the butternut squash, and about an hour of mixing a lot of risotto, the butternut squash risotto was ready. 

 Wow was it delicious, I can't wait to make it again!
