For the risotto
1

Brown the onion in a little extra virgin olive oil. When it is browned add the rice, let it toast and blend with the white wine. Once it has evaporated, add a ladle of broth and the squash puree, rosemary and finely chopped Voghiera Garlic (Aglio di Voghiera DOP). Finish cooking with the broth, add salt, pepper and flavour with the nutmeg.

For the wafers
2

Spread 60 g of grated Grana Padano in a 24 cm diameter pan lined with a disc of baking paper and heat on the burner. When it is golden in colour, use a spatula to place the wafer on the bottom of a glass with a 7 cm base that has been turned upside down and wait for it to harden. Repeat this operation 4 times.
