Winter Squash Risotto
Just omit the cheese to make this quick and easy risotto recipe dairy free!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small butternut squash or medium delicata squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 large shallot or small onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
4 to 5 cups hot reduced-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Directions
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

1 - Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add squash; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add shallot; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until squash is almost tender. Stir in paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add rice; stir to coat.

2 - Add wine, if desired; cook and stir until wine is absorbed. Add broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until broth is absorbed before adding next 1/2 cup. Continue adding broth and stirring until rice is tender and mixture is creamy, about 20 to 25 minutes.

3 - Sprinkle with cheese just before serving. (For a dairy-free risotto, omit the cheese, or replace it with a dairy-free version.)
