Risotto with pumpkin and sausage
4 servings
30 minutes
Pumpkin and sausage risotto is a cozy dish that combines the tenderness of Italian risotto with the rich flavors of American cuisine. The pumpkin adds a sweet creaminess, while the aromatic garlic sausage adds a spicy kick. Each grain of Arborio rice absorbs the rich chicken broth, creating a velvety texture, and Parmesan finishes the dish with subtle salty notes. This dish is perfect for an autumn dinner when you want to warm up and enjoy a harmony of flavors. It’s best served immediately, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley to highlight the depth of ingredients and add freshness. It pairs excellently with white wine and will be a centerpiece for family gatherings or dinners with friends.
