Creamy risotto, sweet roasted butternut squash, and savory sausage make this the cozy dinner I crave on a cool fall night. Brown Butter Sage Butternut Squash Risotto gets a rich start in Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil, and Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt gives the squash a smoky edge. Finish it with fresh sage and Parmesan cheese, then dive in for seconds.

Ingredients
Squash
- 2 cups Butternut Squash, chopped
- 1 Tbsp Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
Risotto
- 2 Tbsp Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil
- 1 lb Ground Sausage
- 2 cups Brown Butter Sage Butternut Squash Risotto
- 1 cup White Wine
- 4 to 5 cups Vegetable Stock
To Finish
- Parmesan Cheese, to finish
- Sage Leaves, to garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Toss the butternut squash with 1 Tbsp Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil and Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil in a large, wide skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
Add Brown Butter Sage Butternut Squash Risotto and stir until well coated. Cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the wine and stir continually until fully cooked off.
Add 1 cup of the vegetable stock at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the stock to fully absorb before adding the next cup. Cook until the rice is al dente, about 30 minutes.
Top with the roasted butternut squash. Finish with a dusting of Parmesan Cheese. Garnish with sage. Serve immediately.
