Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Trim, peel, and remove the seeds from the squash. Cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 4 cups. Using a food processor, mince the onion, carrot and celery chunks to a fine-textured paste (pestata). Put the olive oil and butter in the saucepan set over medium heat. When the butter is melted, scrape in the pestata and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring it around the bottom of the pan, until it has dried out and just begins to stick. Pour in the hot water or stock and bring to a boil. Drop in the squash, then all of the rice, stirring, and remaining salt. Return the liquid to a boil, cover the pan and reduce the heat to keep the rice bubbling gently. Cook for about 14 minutes, or until the rice and squash are cooked and the consistency is creamy. Turn off the heat, drop in the butter pieces, and stir vigorously until thoroughly amalgamated. Stir in the grated cheese, spoon rice into warm pasta bowls, and served immediately, passing additional grated cheese at the table.
