Ingredients:
3 cups chopped butternut squash (about 1/2 large squash)
2 cups fat-free, less sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp. dried rubbed sage)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice (or other short-grain rice)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
cooking spray
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese (1 ounce)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place squash on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until slightly tender; cool. Increase oven temperature to 400°.
