Ingredients:

Serving

for risotto
1 small butternut squash
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
1 large minced shallot
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
kosher salt and white pepper
6 cups (or so) homemade chicken stock
1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano , plus some shaved for garnish
for salad
4 handfuls wild baby arugula
splash of aged balsamic
splash of extra virgin olive oil
candied walnuts
note- please see my recipe for the walnuts posted here
baby spinach gorgonzola and fresh raspberry salad

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 3/4-inch cubes. Place the squash on a sheet pan and toss it with 1 TB olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once, until very tender (I like to squish mine a little with a fork so it's not big chunks). Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock in a small covered saucepan. Leave it on low heat to simmer.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt 1 TB butter and 1 TB olive oil saute shallots on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until the shallots are translucent but not browned. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains.
Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 full ladles of stock to the rice plus 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir, and simmer until the stock is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue to add the stock, 2 ladles at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry, then add more stock. Continue until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, about 30 minutes total.
Off the heat, add the roasted squash cubes, remaining 1 TB of butter and Parmesan. Mix well and serve with Arugula salad on side.
