Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 30 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups Arborio rice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes slightly toasted.
Gradually add the vegetable broth, about 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each cup is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is cooked and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Serve the pumpkin risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
