Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until caramelized, stirring halfway through.
While squash is roasting, heat vegetable stock in a saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until translucent.
Add arborio rice to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Add white wine to the rice and cook until almost completely absorbed.
Begin adding the warm vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in goat cheese, toasted pistachios, and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry sage leaves until crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
To serve, spoon risotto onto plates, top with roasted butternut squash and garnish with crispy sage leaves.
