Ingredients

5 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

2 cups arborio rice

2 cups pumpkin or butternut squash, small dice

1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 medium yellow onion, minced

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  2. Combine broth, rice, squash, puree, and onion in a 3-quart baking dish, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to evenly combine. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake, stirring occasionally, until most the water has been absorbed and rice granules are puffed, about 35 to 30 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven, stir in remaining ingredients, season to taste and serve.

Sorry folks...this is NOT risotto...this is a soggy, heavy rice casserole...and not a great one. Risotto can NOT be made in the oven, it is time consuming and requires lots of stirring and additions of liquid on a stove top. Real risotto should be a glistening, creamy, smooth dish, very moist almost custardy in texture with a slightly al dente rice grain when made correctly. Sorry Aida, but this is a total fail. I gave it one star because I had to give it something in order for the review to post.
