Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 cup finely chopped onion (1 large)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 cup uncooked Arborio rice

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 ½ tablespoon snipped fresh sage

  • 2 - 2 ½ cup water

  • 1 ¾ cup gluten-free chicken broth

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin

  • 2 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely shredded (1/2 cup)

  • Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shaved (optional)

  • Fresh sage leaves (optional)

Directions

  1. In a 4-quart heavy saucepan heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add onion and garlic; cook about 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Carefully add wine; cook and stir until liquid is absorbed. Stir in snipped sage.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan bring the water and the broth to boiling; reduce heat and simmer. Slowly add 1 cup of the broth mixture to rice mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add another 1 cup of the broth mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add enough of the remaining broth mixture, about 1 cup at a time, cooking and stirring just until rice is tender but firm and risotto is creamy.

  3. Stir in pumpkin and the 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Cook about 1 minute or until heated through, stirring occasionally. If desired, top each serving with shaved cheese and sage leaves.
