Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add squash and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 22-25 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden.
- Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 4 1/2 cups (5 1/2 cups) water and broth concentrates. Cover and bring to a gentle boil over medium.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 min, stirring often, until softened.
- Add rice, Italian Herb Spice Blend and garlic puree. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- To the pan with rice, add 1 cup broth (use same for 4 servings).
Stir until broth has been absorbed by rice. - Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring regularly, for 22-24 min, until liquid is absorbed, texture is creamy and rice is tender.
- Meanwhile, arrange bacon strips in a single layer on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the top of the oven for 10-14 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
- When bacon is crispy, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Roughly chop bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Once risotto is done, remove from heat. Add squash, spinach and half the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir for 1 min, until spinach wilts.
- Divide risotto between plates. Sprinkle bacon and remaining Parmesan over top.
