Pumpkin Risotto
Pumpkin Risotto Ingredients
Cooking Notes
1. Do not wash the risotto rice before cooking as it will wash away the starch.
2. Stirring the risotto allows the starch to be released and the flavours to be absorbed into the rice.
3. Roasting the pumpkin before cooking brings out the sweetness of the pumpkin.
Where to find the ingredients in Singapore
1. Risotto Rice (Arborio or Carnaroli) at NTUC Finest or Cold Storage
2. Butternut Squash at NTUC Finest or Cold Storage (seasonal)

Looks mouthwatering! :)
This is my type of autumn dinner ;-) Made some last year, but with brown rice..delicious too. Love yours more with risotto rice and pine nuts. Gorgeous colour.
This looks so good.. But I have a few stupid qns to ask. Will the use of the dry white wine render this dish not suitable for preschoolers? What is considered as dry white wine? can I also ask where do u get pine nuts and sage leaves? I seldom cook western meals n don’t have most of the ingredients. :p
Hi! you can skip the wine if you are concerned about alcohol content. You can buy pine nuts in the supermarket (it’s optional as it’s just garnishing). As for sage, I bought it from the fridge herbs section of NTUC/Cold Storage. You can also use dried sage (about 1-2 tsp) if you can’t find fresh ones, or even omit.
Looks good, love the color!
How creamy this looks! I love how the pumpkin colour makes this so appealing as well- your lucky family!
I’m having so much fun cooking with pumpkin and butternut squash right now, but I haven’t made a risotto lately. Pumpkin risotto sounds great!
This is lovely ad looks deliciously creamy.
Oh! This risotto looks delicious, I love the flavor and the vivid color…beautifully done :0
Thanks for the recipe and hope you are enjoying your week Wiffy!
Love risotto and pumpkin…this I have to try.
Looks totally YUMMY!!! :9
You know, we love pine nuts here in Portugal, but they are pretty expensive @_@ I don’t quite remember how much they were in Singapore, but I’m positive they are so much cheaper there.
Hi Pipana, good to see ya :) Pine nuts are expensive in SG too, in fact I was just contemplating to ship a big bag from US stores.
Oh, I didn’t know pine nuts are expensive in Singapore too!
In Portugal, we eat lots of pine nuts during Xmas season, so the price goes even higher X_x
hi there! i don’t have an oven, so i’m just wondering is there any other ways that i should cook the pumpkin? thank you :))))) it looks delish!
Hi shelly, you can use toaster oven. Alternatively, lightly brown the pumpkin in a saucepan. Hope it helps.
Risotto is one of my favourite one-dish meals! Great colours from the pumpkin.
fantastic site you’ve got.. lotsa effort explain the recipe and ingredients.
2 thumbs up, keep it up Wiffy!
Beautiful colors and what a creative way to use pumpkin. Nicely done wiffy!
