Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/ 160ºC fan/Gas 4. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic gently for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the sage and rice to the pan and stir. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Season well.
 
2. Stir in the wine and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the vegetable stock, pumpkin pieces and peas. Bring to the boil, remove from heat and transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish. Cover and bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven, or until the rice has absorbed the stock, but is still moist. Remove the risotto from the oven and serve, sprinkled with Parmesan.
