Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Butternut Squash
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced butternut squash and cook for about 10 minutes until softened. Remove from pot and set aside.
Cook the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Add Broth Gradually
Begin adding the vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next cup. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.
Combine and Finish
Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the cooked butternut squash, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped sage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve
Serve the risotto warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and sage if desired.
