Method

Heat the butter and 15ml oil in a pan then fry onion and garlic until softened.

Add the rice and stir constantly for two minutes until pearls are coated in oil.

Pour in the wine and simmer until two-thirds of the liquid has evaporated.

Add stock one ladle at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more, for 15 minutes.

Heat remaining oil in a separate pan and fry squash cubes until tender and golden.

Stir sage, squash, Parmesan, and mozzarella into the risotto and allow cheese to melt.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Toast pine nuts in a dry pan until golden then stir into the risotto to serve.
