Pumpkin Risotto (Risotto alla Zucca)

This velvety rice dish is a mainstay of Lombardy during the cooler months, where the natural sweetness of the squash creates a deeply comforting, creamy texture. By simmering the pumpkin in milk, the vegetable softens into a rich puree that coats every grain of rice, offering a gentle, earthy flavour profile that is both refined and satisfying.
