Squash & Chicken Sausage Farrotto

• Wash and dry produce. • Cut squash into bite-size pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, halve, peel and finely chop onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Pick sage leaves from stems; thinly slice half the leaves and finely chop remaining half.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; cut into bite-size pieces if necessary. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or sausage; cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until onion is softened, 3-5 minutes (reduce heat to medium low if onion begins to brown). • Stir in garlic and chopped sage (add another drizzle of olive oil if pan seems dry). Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Use pan used for chicken or sausage here.

• Once farro and squash are done, stir cooked farro and half the squash into pan with onion. • Increase heat under pan to medium high. Stir in stock concentrates, cheese roux, and ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, half the Parmesan, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). (Add a splash of water if farrotto seems too thick.) Season with salt and pepper.
