This is delicious. I added some zucchini and roasted it with the pumpkin. Also added mushroom in the last 15 minutes of rice cooking. I needed to cook the rice for about 1 min 30 seconds longer than recipe stated. Will definitely be making this again
This was delicious although I made the following modifications. 70% more pumpkin, 200% more spinach, a handful of baby tomatoes that I had. I think the additions worked well and next time I'll actually add an even great quantity of veg.
I made this with a number of variations based on what I had at the time. Was a wonderful flavour although the rice was a little underdone for my liking...will definitely try the full recipe next time.
Did not use spinach or fetta but did add mushrooms, flat leaf parsley and roasted some pinenuts. It was delicious even the kids ate some.
Really delicious! I added steamed prawns. Yum
OMG so yum!! In my favourites list now!
This risotto was delicious, a big hit at our house

I loved this recipe!!! That's all to be said about this recipe.
Delicious , I added a few Swiss brown mushrooms with the spinac and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Love the idea of arrancinni - only if there are any leftovers!
We love this recipe. Chuck the pumpkin on to roast and it's done when the risotto is ready. My favourite thing about it though, is making arancini the next day with the left overs - a cube of mozzarella in the middle of each ball, roll in breadcrumbs (made in Tmx), place on an oven tray, spray lightly with oil, then bake in 210 degree oven for about 15min. Healthier than frying but so tasty.
