- 2 cups butternut squash (½" cubed, about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 cup arborio rice
- ½ cup white wine (or extra broth)
- ¼ teaspoon ground sage
- 4 cups chicken broth (divided, or as needed)
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Steps
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt & pepper. Place squash on a baking pan cut side up and 55-60 minutes or until tender. Scoop squash out and cut into cubes.
Add remaining olive oil and onion to a pan over medium heat. Cook until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in rice and cook until rice starts to lightly brown, about 5 minutes longer.
Add wine and cook until evaporated while stirring. Add squash and sage.
Warm the broth in the microwave.
Add warmed broth ½ cup at a time stirring until evaporated after each addition. This will take about 20-25 minutes, the squash will begin to break up as the rice is stirred. Continue adding broth allowing it to evaporate after each addition until the rice is tender and creamy.
Taste and add salt & pepper as needed, garnish with parmesan cheese.
