Yes, there is a way to make Easy Pumpkin Risotto!
You probably already know that there is a hard way as well.

Easy Pumpkin Risotto

Easy Pumpkin Risotto

This recipe is especially for those of us who like to celebrate the fall season with a bit of pumpkin.
However, this is also for those of us who can appreciate an easier way to make something as well.
If you are wondering about which wine to pair this pumpkin recipe with, think dry such as a Chardonnay.

I am thinking that this risotto would go nice with some homemade pita bread on the side.

In case you do not know, or were just wondering, Risotto is made with Arborio.

Arborio is a kind of short grain rice. You may have eaten Arboio before in rice pudding.

Basmati Rice can be used in place of the Arborio in a risotto recipe.

What you should know is that it is the starchy texture of the Arborio rice perfect in risotto.
Basmati rice is a long grain rice that is used in many Middle Eastern dishes.

Here are few tips that I can share with you when making Pumpkin Risotto rice.

While following the steps in this recipe should get you a decent tasting dish, there are a few ways to make this risotto dish even better. Hopefully, your Pumpkin Risotto will turn out perfect.

I should start with mentioning how long your risotto will last.

This is a hearty dish so it is possible that you may have leftovers. It should keep for a few days in the refrigerator. However, thickening can be an issue as can the possibility of overcooking your rice when you reheat it.

Helpful Pumpkin Risotto Making Tips.

  1. While this recipe is made with canned pumpkin, consider subbing in some chopped pumpkin for taste and texture.
  2. Stirring the rice while it cooks is essential while it cooks to prevent burning or sticking.
  3. Making this in a Dutch Oven is a good idea in order to take this from stove to oven.

There are a few other ingredients that you will need for this recipe.

Chicken broth is an essential ingredient to this recipe. This is because it not only cooks the rice, it seasons it as well.

Parmesan Cheese is also needed for this recipe.
Please make sure that your Parmesan cheese is grated. I prefer a fresh Parmesan cheese as well in this recipe.

You can season this Risotto as needed.

Good choices for seasoning include Sage, Parsley, or Nutmeg.
Salt and pepper may be added as needed as well.
