Pumpkin and Gorgonzola Risotto is a very tasty and unique first course due to the blend of flavors. The sweetness of the pumpkin pairs very well with a flavorful cheese like Gorgonzola.
It’s a simple dish to prepare on the stove in the traditional way, or with the help of technology with a cooking machine, below you will find both methods.

How to prepare Pumpkin and Gorgonzola Risotto
Heat a bit of oil in a pot and sauté the onion and pumpkin for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the rice and toast it for 3 minutes, stirring, then add a ladle of broth and stir. As the risotto dries, add more broth and continue stirring. If it dries too much by the end of cooking, add a splash of water.
Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan cheese, butter, and adjust the salt.
Stir well to combine the ingredients, plate the risotto and serve immediately.
Mount the mixing tool, co-mixing accessory, heat shield, and splash guard on the machine. Add the oil to the bowl and heat it to 248 degrees Fahrenheit, then add the onion, pumpkin, and cook for 3 minutes / stirring speed 2.
