• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

To begin, heat a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant. Add the arborio rice to the pan and toast it for a few minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

Next, pour a ladleful of vegetable broth into the pan and stir the rice until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the broth gradually, stirring constantly, until the rice is creamy and al dente. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.

Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency, stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice, mixing well to incorporate all the flavors. Add the grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the risotto to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
