Preparation
- To prep the squash, cut off both ends and poke 10-15 times with a fork. Microwave on high power for 3-4 minutes.
- Peel the skin off of the squash. It should come off easily! Once peeled, cut into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the onion over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until semi-translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes, until starting to soften. Add the thyme and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the arborio rice and sauté until lightly toasted, then stir in the salt, pepper and white wine.
- Stir in the butternut squash and and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately
- Enjoy!
