Cook Time:1

Yields:

Ingredients

1 cup Arborio rice
1 butternut squash, cut into cubes
2 tbsp butter, unsalted
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 cup white wine
5-6 fresh sage leaves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
7 cups chicken stock
1 white onion, diced
salt & pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds and cut it into cubes. Add to a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss in olive oil, salt & pepper. Add sage leaves to a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes until soft & roasted.
When the butternut squash has been cooking for 20 minutes – start the risotto. In a small pot, add chicken stock to a pot and bring to a boil.
Add olive oil to a med-high temp Dutch oven or pot & add in the onion. Add in rice and stir together. Deglaze the pan with white wine and make sure to constantly stir. Continuously stir in 2 ladles of chicken stock at a time. Make sure to constantly stir until all the liquid is absorbed. If the risotto is looking dry, add 1 ladle at a time and mix together. Add in butter and mix together until combined. Make sure to season with salt & pepper.
Once the risotto is cooked, remove from heat and remove butternut squash & sage from the oven. Add in only butternut squash and stir into the risotto until all rice is evenly coated. Grate in nutmeg and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
Plate risotto and top with black pepper, and Parmesan cheese and finish with olive oil. Garnish with chopped fresh sage and enjoy!

Comforting and full of character, roasted butternut squash & sage risotto made excellent use of the chicken stock and white onion.
