Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Butternut Squash Risotto
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- While the squash is roasting, heat vegetable broth in a saucepan over low heat.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add Arborio rice to the skillet and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, fold in the roasted squash, Parmesan cheese, and sage. Adjust seasoning and serve hot.
- Scoop risotto into warm bowls and drizzle with olive oil. Optionally garnish with more Parmesan or crispy pancetta.
