Stir everything together well and let the squash cook a little bit in the pan, softening slightly and just barely caramelizing. * Turn the heat to medium-low and add the rice. Toss the rice in the squash mixture until it's coated and move it around the pan for about 1 minute. * Add the wine and stir as the wine reduces (cook for about 5 minutes until the wine reduces). * Add the hot chicken stock (or vegetable stock) about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until the stock is absorbed by the rice until you add another 1/2 cup. * Repeat the process above until all the stock has been added and absorbed by the rice and a creamy sauce has formed, stirring constantly throughout.The squash will also soften considerably as you add stock and stir, and it will begin to fall apart and create an orange-coloured creamy sauce. * Mix in the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. * Serve immediately with shaved Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped sage or parsley. 🥣 KITCHEN TOOLS USED IN THIS RECIPE: Cast Iron Skillet: https://amzn.to/3WtF5px 💎ALL-TIME FAVOURITES: Instant Pot Duo 6QT: https://amzn.to/3rHNlG8 Kitchen Aid Hand Mixer: https://amzn.to/3oKW34p Le Creuset Dutch Oven Pot: https://amzn.to/3rMrMnY Cast Iron Skillet: https://amzn.to/3rIUOEI Baking Sheet Pan: https://amzn.to/3uGND1X Springform Cake Tin: https://amzn.to/3rMtg1w Cutting Board Set: https://amzn.to/3sDWmzh Mixing Bowl Set: https://amzn.to/3LG4rwb Balloon Whisk: https://amzn.to/3rJU2r3 Spatula Set: https://amzn.to/3oIyTvJ Garlic Press: https://amzn.to/3rMt6XY Instant Read Thermometer: https://amzn.to/3BeC1Vb OUR FAVOURITE KITCHEN ITEMS & PROPS: ♥️ Kitchen towels: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ForestlandLinen https://www.etsy.com/shop/MagicLinen https://greengatehome.com/ ♥️ Backdrops: https://www.etsy.com/shop/InkAndElm ♥️ Dishes & Ceramics: https://blop.ro https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnnaBelleCeramics ♥️ Cookware and props: https://www.riess-markenshop.de/en https://www.falconenamelware.com/ https://lecreuset.com https://www.denbypottery.com/cast-iron https://amzn.to/3uLkPp4 ♥️ Shop my Amazon Store (with ALL my favourite kitchen products!) https://www.amazon.com/shop/thebusybakerblog 📷 OUR PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY GEAR: Canon 90D: https://amzn.to/3HfcU6G Canon 6D Mark II: https://amzn.to/3uidzR1 50mm Lens: https://amzn.to/3GiwAVW Photography lens: https://amzn.to/3uiDQis Video/Photography lens: https://amzn.to/3Hj10sl Tripod: https://amzn.to/3419mXy Light stand: https://amzn.to/3ocDaab Video/photography light: https://amzn.to/3gcxvwy Softbox: https://amzn.to/3AOJ0nj **The Busy Baker is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.**
