A creamy and cozy risotto featuring the flavors of butternut squash and fresh sage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2 cups butternut squash, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
  3. Add the diced butternut squash and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
  5. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed.
  6. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
  7. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  8. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped sage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with additional sage if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sage based on your personal taste preference.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad.
