This tasty dish combines the sweetness of roasted pumpkin and salty taste of feta cheese to create a sensational risotto...
 

3¼ cups 

 

peeled, cubed pumpkin

 

1 Tbs 

 

olive oil

 

4 cups 

 

vegetable broth

 

½ tsp 

 

chopped fresh garlic

 

1 medium 

 

onion, diced

 

½ lb 

 

ground Italian sausage

 

1 cup 

 

baby spinach leaves

 

6 oz 

 

feta cheese, cubed

 

 

 

salt and pepper to taste

 

2 cups 

 

Arborio rice

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a baking dish with olive oil.

2

Place pumpkin in a vegetable steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm. Transfer pumpkin to baking dish, and brush with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown.

3

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a saucepan. Cook onion, garlic and sausage until onion is tender and sausage is cooked. Stir in rice, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add vegetable broth ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing all of the liquid to be absorbed before adding more broth. Continue cooking until the rice is tender to bite, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

When the pumpkin is almost done, place feta on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is hot and beginning to melt around the edges.

5

Mash ½ of the pumpkin, and stir into the risotto with the spinach. Ladle risotto into bowls, and top with remaining pumpkin cubes and heated feta.
