Butternut Squash Risotto

 

 

Easy fall dinner...
 

4 cups 

 

low-sodium chicken broth

 

2 Tbs 

 

olive oil

 

1 large 

 

yellow onion, finely chopped

 

½ tsp 

 

kosher salt

 

¼ tsp 

 

black pepper

 

2 Tbs 

 

finely chopped fresh sage

 

1 small 

 

butternut squash- peeled, seeded, and grated (about 4 cups)

 

1 large 

 

clove garlic, finely chopped

 

1½ cups 

 

Arborio rice

 

1 cup 

 

dry white wine

 

½ cup 

 

(2 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese

 

 

Warm the broth in a small saucepan over low heat. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, salt and pepper and cook for 4 minutes. Add the sage and cook for 1 minute. Add squash and garlic and cook until the squash begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring occasionally and waiting until it is absorbed before adding more. It should take about 30 minutes for all of the broth to be absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan. Spoon into individual bowls.
