Description

Creamy orzo folded with caramelised butternut squash, crisp sage and Parmesan for a cosy meat-free midweek dinner.

Ingredients
    Ingredients
  • 700g butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
  • 300g orzo
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 800ml hot vegetable stock
  • 60g Parmesan, finely grated
  • 12 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 25g butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1
    Heat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C conventional. Toss the squash with 1 tbsp oil, season and roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelised.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large deep frying pan. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, then add the garlic for 30 seconds.
  3. 3
    Stir in the orzo and gradually add the hot stock. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring regularly, until the orzo is tender and creamy.
  4. 4
    Melt the butter in a small pan and fry the sage leaves until crisp.
  5. 5
    Fold most of the roasted squash and Parmesan through the orzo. Season, top with the remaining squash and crisp sage, and serve.
Note

Add a little extra hot water if the orzo becomes too thick before it is tender. Use a vegetarian hard cheese if required.
