Pumpkin Risotto Recipe – creamy and full of fall flavors. One pot meal, made with canned pumpkin on the stove top. Ready in 30 minutes.
How was everyone’s weekend? Ready for Thanksgiving? I sure am! I’ll be away and can’t wait to have some rest 🙂 I hope it isn’t too late for a pumpkin recipe, like this pumpkin risotto.
I totally forgot to post this last month.
I like risotto, because it is very easy to make, does not require a lot of time and it keeps me full (usually!).
Perfect for a fall weeknight dinner.
I’m pretty sure you have almost all the ingredients needed at home.
Pumpkin puree, arborio rice, chicken broth, wine and Parmesan cheese.
If you hapenned to have some fresh sage, it would be great! It does bring great flavor
I like my risotto with mushrooms, but I had to stop myself from adding them here.
The dish is pretty good without them.
Just add a generous amount of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese..
Hope you like it!
