Pumpkin Risotto

38shares
Jump to Recipe

This Pumpkin Risotto is the perfect fall meal! Make it for lunch or dinner or eat it leftover, it’s always delicious! This risotto is creamy, filling and satisfies the fall craving for pumpkin!

Pumpkin Risotto

I have a love for risotto and I never seem to get enough. If you haven’t made risotto before, now is the time to try. You can check out my posts for Butternut Squash Risotto with Bacon and Basil Parmesan Risotto for more in depth directions on how to make it at home!

Risotto is a dish that takes a little patience but for me, even when I’m wrangling my two kids while making it, has a therapeutic affect on me. The stirring just seems to calm me… call me weird!

Pumpkin (Risotto) for your health

Pumpkin has some serious health benefits and is super easy to add to your regular diet since canned pumpkin can be purchased year round! Unfortunately, our favorite pumpkin foods–cookies, pie, lattes, etc. don’t offer up as much benefit since they are usually accompanied by excessive added sugar.
