Cube butternut squash, drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and sage. Place in pan and roast for 25-35, until golden brown. Remove from oven when ready and set aside

Add one tablespoon of butter to Dutch oven (If you don’t have a Dutch oven use a shallow pot). Add shallot and sauté until translucent.

Add rice and toast for a few minutes

Add white wine and stir until absorbed by rice

Add one cup of chicken broth and continuously stir until the broth is absorbed

Keep stirring rice and add a ladle of chicken broth. Add another ladle when the first ladle is absorbed

Keep stirring and adding ladles of broth until all chicken broth is absorbed and the rice is tender (taste it to see if it is cooked). You may need more than 4 cups of chicken broth

Once rice is cooked, remove pot from heat and add the grated cheese and remaining butter.
