  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup Arborio rice
– 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
– 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium)
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup dry white wine
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

To create this delicious Risotto Alla Zucca, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the Butternut Squash: Stir in the diced butternut squash and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to soften.
4. Toast the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
5. Pour in the Wine: Add the dry white wine to the skillet, stirring until the liquid is absorbed.
6. Gradually Add Broth: Begin adding the warmed vegetable broth, one ladle at a time. Stir continuously and wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more.
7. Cook the Risotto: Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
8. Finish with Cheese and Butter: Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Let it Rest: Allow the risotto to sit for a few minutes to thicken before serving.
10. Garnish: Serve the risotto hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
