Instructions
- Combine 3 cups vegetable broth and rice in a large bowl and allow it to stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the rice, keeping the broth mixture separately, and let stand for an additional 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the sage and fry briefly, about 15 seconds. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and toast with the onions for 2 more minutes. Add the butternut squash, previously strained liquid, salt, and black pepper to the pot and bring to a boil, reduce to a very low simmer. Cover pot and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes, stirring 1-2 times.
- Add the parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 cup of broth, stir until the cheese has fully melted. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Storage: Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, the risotto will last for a few days. To reheat it, I like to do so on the stovetop, adding a little broth or water and stirring it to make it creamy again.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Use other types of shredded cheese in place of parmesan cheese if you'd prefer. Gruyere would make a great choice here.
- To make it vegan, omit the Parmesan cheese.
