Looking for easy vegetarian dinner recipes that really scream autumn? You’re going to love our pumpkin risotto recipe! It looks like a gourmet meal but takes less than half an hour to make. The best part? Everything goes into one skillet so you won’t have to clean up a huge mess! It goes great with a side of homemade garlic bread.

Like many people this time of year, I’m absolutely crazy for pumpkin. I love everything sweet from pumpkin pie to lattes, but over the last year, I’ve really wanted to try making healthy pumpkin recipes. It’s such a powerhouse of a veggie, full of fiber, vitamins and minerals. On its own, it’s a relatively low-fat food. I just tend to add it to a bunch of sugary foods and it ends up becoming a high-cal dessert. Since I’m a picky eater and it’s one of the few vegetables that I really love, I’ve decided to try making more easy vegetarian dinner recipes with it! This yummy pumpkin risotto recipe is definitely a great place to start, don’t you think? Make sure you check out our video tutorial and grab the printable recipe card below!

You will get addicted to this easy dinner recipe: asparagus and noodles! It is perfect for those busy nights where dinner has to be prepared in less than 15 minutes! You can even save extra minutes by cutting the asparagus ahead of time and storing them in an airtight container. Don't we love these quick recipes that are filling, healthy and budget friendly too!

    One question – I’m gluten-sensitive – would I be able to use brown rice with this recipe?

    Reply
    • Olfa Turki says

      The recipe was tried with Arborio rice. Unfortunately, we did not try it with brown rice. The texture may be different! I would give it a try though but use less stock.

      And you can try with Brown Arborio rice http://amzn.to/2cARwwf
