Risotto is a resource on every occasion, an Italian dish with a simple preparation (does not require the use of the oven) that you can always make new with a few simple steps. Rice goes well with many foods such as vegetables, meat or fish. Its delicate perfume and its soft and creamy consistency remain a constant in every recipe. Pumpkin risotto a typical dish of northern Italian gastronomy, a preparation as simple to prepare as it is appetizing.
