with butternut squash - very similar to pumpkin: canned pumpkin puree is a similar squash variety. If you have access to fresh sage leaves, frying them makes a nice garnish.

Mushroom risotto is my standby. I've made risotto with squash blossoms, which turned out very nice, but my squash plants have been uncooperative in recent years. Seafood risottos are also good - flaked fish, frozen shrimp, crab, or scallops, or a mix.
