Ingredients

Instructions 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced butternut squash and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
  • Gradually add the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more, continuing until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh sage leaves.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
