Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups Arborio rice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  •  
    12 oz frozen butternut squash
  •  
    1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  •  
    1 tsp dried rubbed sage
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  •  
    3 tbsp Gorgonzola
  • 3 tbsp Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  1. Stir the rice and oil together in the slow cooker. Add the broth, squash, onion, garlic, sage, salt and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, stirring gently from time to time. Check near the end and stop when the rice is tender and creamy.
  3. Stir in the Gorgonzola, Parmesan and butter. Let the risotto sit for a few minutes so the cheeses melt.
