In saucepan, cover and bring stock and 2 cups (500 mL) water to simmer over medium heat; reduce heat to low and keep warm.Meanwhile, peel and cube squash to make 4 cups (1 L).
In large shallow saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry squash, onion, garlic, sage, salt and pepper, stirring often, until onion is light golden, about 12 minutes.
Stir in rice until well coated, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine; cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed. Stir in chestnuts and 1 cup (250 mL) of the warm stock mixture; simmer until stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock mixture, 1 cup (250 mL) at a time and stirring constantly, until all liquid is absorbed and rice is creamy and tender, about 20 minutes total.
Stir in cheese, parsley and butter; cook, stirring, until creamy but still fluid, about 2 minutes.
