Pumpkin Risotto

Go ahead and make this one. You won't regret it. (I didn't. I also didn't regret eating it again for lunch today.)

My interpretations on measurements:
1 16 oz. bag orzo
2 cups pumpkin and squash puree
* note: I used home-made puree, so it went in with a mild flavor. If using canned pumpkin, you may want to go a good bit lighter than two cups.
1 stick unsalted butter
a very, very, very generous cup shredded parmesan . . . plus some

My adjustments:
Used a red onion, and added a diced red pepper (a Carmen Sweet, to be precise) to the onion saute.

Try it! You'll like it.

  2. I've never made risotto, but perhaps I'll try. Is it as tricky as everyone makes it sound?

    (also, thanks for that link in general. Any foodie-blogger who hosts a Nutella Challenge on her blog gets an instant bookmark from me!)
