This Pumpkin Spinach Risotto recipe can be enjoyed year round thanks to canned pumpkin. Plus, I love that the pumpkin adds extra fiber and Vitamin A to the meal.
Also, did you know that pumpkin can be used to replace fat (butter, eggs, oil) in some recipes? With the price of butter and eggs going up and up this might be worth trying to see how that switch works in recipes.

2. In a large skillet melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Sautee garlic for about a minute. Add rosemary sprig to skillet.
3. Add arborio rice and white wine to skillet. Cook until wine is absorbed. Add 1 cup of the warm pumpkin broth, cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed into rice. Continue adding one cup at a time until the rice is tender. You may not use all the liquid.
4. Remove rosemary sprig and stir in the feta. Add spinach and stir until spinach is slightly wilted.
5. Serve warm and enjoy!

Great way to incorporate pumpkin into a non-dessert recipe. Thanks for sharing at Happiness is Homemade 🙂
This looks SO good. Now if only I could get my Husband to eat pumpkin, I would make this. Hmmpf…Men.
I’ve never made Risotto before. I’ve always heard good things and one of my favorite chefs (Ramsey) is a big fan of making it.
What an absolutely delicious idea this is! I want some soon!

It’s crazy how pumpkin gets relegated to one season. Great idea to use it year round in something like this! Looks tasty!
Oh, I love pumpkin but have never tried it in a risotta. This sounds wonderful and simple to make.
I have never thought of using pumpkin in recipes other than baking sweets but this sounds amazing! My husband loves pumpkin and I think this would be a new favorite in our house. Thanks for the awesome new recipe!
