Best Recipe for Butternut Squash, Rosemary, and Blue Cheese Risotto
Ingredients
- 7 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/4 cups finely chopped onion
- 1 2-pound butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch dice (about 3 cups)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, divided
- 2 cups arborio rice (about 13 1/2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups (packed) baby spinach leaves (about 4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Instructions
- Bring 7 cups broth to boil in large saucepan. Cover and reduce heat to low.
- Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add squash and 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary; sauté 4 minutes to coat with butter. Add rice and stir 2 minutes. Add wine and simmer until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add 7 cups hot broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until rice is just tender and risotto is creamy and slightly soupy, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls as needed to maintain consistency and stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Stir in spinach, cream, and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer risotto to large bowl. Sprinkle with blue cheese and remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary and serve.
