In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Add the arborio rice to the saucepan and stir to coat with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted.
Add the white wine to the saucepan and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
Begin adding the broth to the saucepan, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until each addition of broth is fully absorbed before adding more. This process will take about 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, in a separate pan, cook the butternut squash until it is tender but not mushy. Add the cooked butternut squash and chopped sage to the risotto and stir to combine.
Season the risotto with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve the risotto hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
