Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 2 cups butternut squash peeled, cut into ¼-inch cubes, 410 g
  • 1 medium onion finely diced, or shallot
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups arborio rice 295.5 g
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup white wine dry
  • 4 cups chicken broth 960 g / 32 ounces, hot
  • ¼ cup heavy cream 59.5 g
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for serving, 100 g, freshly grated
  • parsley chopped, for garnish, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the cubed butternut squash and diced shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Add garlic. Cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Add the Arborio rice and salt to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the butter and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, or until the rice is lightly toasted.
  4. Pour in the wine and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has been absorbed by the rice, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Begin adding the hot chicken broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ½ cup. Continue this process until all of the broth has been absorbed and the risotto is tender, but still slightly firm to the bite (al dente) and creamy, 30-35 minutes.
  6. Add heavy cream and parmesan, stirring until melted and heated through.
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and more Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
