Ingredients

6 servings
  • 3 cups (about ½ large squash) chopped butternut squash
  • 2 cups fat-free, less sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage ((or 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage))
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, (minced)
  • 1 cup uncooked Arborio rice ((or other short-grain rice))
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme ((or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme))
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • cooking spray
  • ¼ cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • fresh thyme sprigs ((optional))

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Place the squash on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until slightly tender; cool. Increase the oven temperature to 400℉.

  3. Bring the broth, water and sage to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). At the same time, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes. Add the rice and sauté for 1 more minute. Stir in the squash, broth mixture, wine, chopped thyme, salt and pepper; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Place the rice mixture in a 13x9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes. Stir the mixture gently. Sprinkle with cheese; bake an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
