Risotto is true comfort food. Just the act of preparing risotto feels comforting, soothing somehow. Maybe it’s because when I make risotto I like to turn on old Italian music and channel my inner Italian; or maybe it simply reminds me of time spent in Italy with the most wonderful and delightful people.
Although risotto feels like comfort food, it also feels lush. A bit decadent and a bit indulgent. That could be another reason I love preparing risotto for my family – tossing in and adding seasonal ingredients like roasted pumpkin to create an even greater indulgent experience.
If you’ve never prepared risotto or you’ve prepared it and it didn’t quite turn out the way you anticipated, you are going to love this Roasted Pumpkin Risotto post. I’ve created this post for the October issue of VRAI Magazine.

Such a beautiful presentation! Really stunning, Karista! I am so with you…risotto may be one of my favorite dishes to make. I always say it’s zen-like. Love this with that roasted pumpkin! Looking forward to making this beauty!
You absolutely nailed it. Zen-like! I love it Caroline. Risotto is one of those dishes that seems to phase into every season beautifully. 🙂 Have a great week!
These are so beautiful. What a great presentation. I”m obsessed with these!
Thank you Amanda! They were fun to prepare and even more fun to serve for dinner 🙂
I’m one of those people who loves the whole process of making a risotto – it can be therapeutic and kind of magical to see it all come together! Heading over to VRAI now x
I know! I always thought the same thing Ksenia. I especially love making risotto with a glass of vino in hand and family or friends hanging about the kitchen to keep me company and do a little stirring. 🙂
Love, love risotto and all its starchy goodness! Looks super cute in the mini pumpkins and I’ve no doubt tastes amazing too. (Is it wrong to crave risotto) even though it’s breakfast time here?!? 😉
Lol!, I have to admit I think I’d eat risotto for breakfast too. With an egg on top! 🙂 Happy Holiday Season Alli!
