Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and roast your butternut squash (after seasoning with olive oil, salt, and pepper) for about 20-30 minutes or until fork tender. Spoon the squash into blender with a couple splashes of chicken stock and blend until smooth and set aside. Start your Risotto by melting some butter in your skillet. Next, add your diced bacon and cook until it begins to get crispy. Next, add in your diced onion and cook until tender. Add your garlic paste and mix to combine. Deglaze pan with dry white wine and bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Next, add your rice and mix to combine. Toast the rice for 3-4 minutes and then add in 2 ladles of stock. Continue to stir constantly and add 1-2 ladles of stock every 1-2 minutes for a total of about 20 minutes. (Add your butternut squash puree about half way through). Once rice becomes tender and has absorbed all of the stock, turn heat to low and begin to mix in your cheese. Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning at the end.
