Ingredients

  • 400g pumpkin, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
  • 60ml (¼ cup) olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 1½ cups (300g) Arborio rice
  • 1.25 litres (5 cups) good-quality vegetable stock, warmed
  • 100g baby spinach leaves
  • 40g butter
  • 1 cup (90g) Perfect Italiano™ Parmesan Grated, plus extra to serve


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan forced. Place pumpkin on an oven tray and drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat and roast for 20 minutes or until golden brown
  2. Heat oil in a large pan and cook onion until soft. Add rice and cook for a few minutes or until it becomes glassy. Add a cup of the hot stock to the rice and stir until absorbed. Add the stock half a cup at a time, allowing the stock to be absorbed while mixing before adding more stock. Continue doing this until the rice is cooked (it should be firm to the bite)
  3. Stir in the pumpkin. Add the butter and parmesan and stir through until melted. Season to taste and remove from heat
  4. Stir in the spinach and serve topped with extra parmesan, as desired
