Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash onto a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- In a pot, bring 4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the orzo, stir, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes until the broth is mostly absorbed.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped sweet onion and minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Lower the heat and add sage, mozzarella, cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until melted and thickened.
- Gently fold in the cooked orzo and roasted squash. Mix until evenly coated and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional sage leaves and cheese, if desired.

Notes
Stir occasionally while cooking the orzo to prevent clumping. Ensure even-sized cubes when roasting for deeper flavor. Adjust creaminess with broth or cream when reheating.
