This was delicious! I used half an onion instead of leeks, and i added 4oz of goat cheese at the end of cooking and stirred it in. being vegetarian, i did NOT add any bacon, and used veggie broth. my boyfriend, who typically does not like pumpkin OR goat cheese, loved it! he even asked to take some to work the next day for lunch. this was really great!

This was my first time making risotto and it turned out awesome. The pumpkin was a subtle flavor and the bacon and goat cheese on top made this an addictive treat.

I made this amazing risotto this evening, and my family absolutely loved it. I did not get any type of "bitter" taste as noted in some other reviews. For those who may be afraid to try it because it might be too "pumpkin-y" fear not! The mild flavor of the leek, mixed with a hint of pumpkin and parmesan cheese were just right! The nutmeg really did the trick too! Will be making again this weekend for company. Lastly, you could serve JUST this for dinner for four. Its creamy texture and bacon/cheese topping were more than enough for us this evening. PS: My two year old couldn't get enough!

This came out extremely bitter - must have been the tin of pure pumpkin that I used & the pinot grigot wine's pretty dry... I had to add several spoons of agave nectar to sweeten it up. It was also pretty bland - not the greatest risotto recipe I've ever made.

I followed the recipe to the "tee". That's the only way I feel I can write an honest review of any recipe. The risotto was tasty. Very rich and sweet. We needed something very bland to off-set the rich/sweet flavor (crusty bread and white fish sauteed in olive oil only. Next time I may set this on a bed of greens with broiled chicken and serve with bread.

This is a great recipe. The pumpkin flavor was pretty subtle, so next time I may try the suggestion made by another reviewer, to add some spices that bring out the pumpkin. The bacon and goat cheese give the dish that extra "pop."

Made this tonight and my husband said it was restaurant quality! If you're not a 100% fan of goat cheese, use sparingly but don't omit. Not only was it a great side dish with a rotisserie chicken, but it was a good arm workout as well! The key is constant stirring and patience!!

The risotto was absolutely spectacular. I did it the day after Thanksgiving to kick up the left overs. Lets just say we didn't get to the leftovers. We only had peppered goat cheese it was awesome. DONT OMIT THE GOAT CHEESE. :

Made this as part of Thanksgiving dinner. It was a hit. Did not add the goat cheese at the end. It was already very rich. Otherwise made exactly as written. Next time would omit the bacon if making this as a side dish. If making as an entree I think toasted walnuts would be a better garnish. This would make a great dinner paired with a arugula salad.
