    Recipe Tips:

    • I used frozen diced pumpkin for this recipe.  I have tried it with fresh pumpkin and the cooking time is the same.
    • This recipe is incredibly delicious with either pumpkin or butternut squash so feel free to use the one you prefer or have on hand.
    • Garnish with chopped nuts or chopped herbs.

    Can you use any rice for risotto?

    • Traditionally, risotto is made with arborio rice, and that works the best.

     

    Hope you enjoy this creamy risotto!
