Chef Steve Samson's restaurants are an homage to his Italian family and the summers they spent in Bologna. He always has a seasonal risotto on rotation at his restaurant Sotto, and this winter, he makes it extra creamy with roasted butternut squash—with enough butter and Parmigiano Reggiano to keep that hibernation layer up. It’s all brought to you by our partners at Pacific Sales—including the sacred recipe, which you can find here.
