Directions:
Roast the butternut squash and pepper, drizzled with olive oil, in the oven 180C for 45 minutes until soft and then crush with a fork and set aside.

Chop the onion and fry gently in olive oil until soft.

Add the rice, stir, then add the wine. Bubble for 2 minutes on the hub, then add the stock. Continue stirring whilst cooking gently for about 10 minutes, until water is absorbed. Rice should be slightly al dente and consistency of the risotto ‘soupy’.

Add the parmesan cheese, roasted butternut squash and pepper, butter or cream, seasoning to taste (nice lot of black pepper) and stir until well combined.

Serve immediately.
