Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
4 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup orzo pasta (rice-shaped pasta)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add butternut squash and stir to coat. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and wine. Simmer until squash is almost tender and liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring 3 1/2 cups broth to boil in heavy saucepan. Add orzo. Boil until tender but still firm to bite, about 8 minutes. Drain orzo if necessary.
  • Transfer orzo to large bowl. Stir in butternut squash mixture, then Parmesan and sage. Season with salt and pepper.
