Ingredients
Instructions
- Roast the Squash: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the broth over low heat and keep it warm.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
- Toast the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the pot, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Deglaze: Pour in the white wine and stir until it's mostly absorbed.
- Cook the Risotto: Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
- Incorporate the Squash: Gently fold in the roasted butternut squash and parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh sage leaves and additional parmesan, if desired. Enjoy your creamy risotto immediately.
