I love risotto and this pumpkin version sounds absolutely delicious. What a great Meatless Monday meal.
What a great dish!
I have a feeling this would definitely end up as an entree because I don’t think I could only eat a small portion for a side.
Made this last night, it’s delicious! Thanks again for your wonderful website, its a fun and yummy way to incorporate catechism and lessons about the faith into family life. And thank you for responding so quickly to my cooking question! Blessings to you and your family from Memphis, TN.
