Ingredients

• 1 quart low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth (gluten free if needed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
• 3 cups peeled, seeded, cubed butternut squash
• 2 cups Arborio rice
• Black pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp roasted pine nuts
• Fresh chopped parsley or sage, for garnish

Directions

1. In a saucepan, bring broth to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
2. In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sage and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add squash and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add rice and stir until it is opaque, about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the simmering broth and stir until broth is absorbed.
3. Reduce heat to low. Continue to add broth, about 1/4 cup at a time, until the rice kernels are al dente (just tender), about 20 to 25 minutes.
4. If additional liquid is needed to cook rice, add water in 1/4-cup intervals until rice is cooked. Add pepper to taste.
5. Serve immediately, sprinkled with pine nuts and parsley or sage.
