Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Arborio rice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- In a large saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
- Add the garlic and Arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
- Pour in the white wine and cook until it has mostly evaporated.
- Gradually add the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
