This ingenious pumpkin recipe takes a little time because you prepare a risotto which is a complete meal in itself and then you fill the pumpkin with it. So maybe you want to make a risotto one day and then serve filled pumpkin the next day?

Risotto Filled Pumpkin

Anne / Mondomio
A wonderful autumn recipe combining what nature gives us now: pumpkin, mushrooms and herbs. Of course you could prepare lots of risotto on one day and then use the rest to fill the pumpkin for next days dinner.
