Pumpkin Orzotto

Savor an autumnal dish that blends the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the texture of orzo pasta. Simmered in a flavorful broth, the orzo becomes tender while absorbing the richness of the pumpkin purée, creating a velvety, risotto-like consistency. A perfect way to celebrate fall flavors in an elegantly simple meal.

  • Ingredients

    • ¼ cup butter
    • 1 yellow onion, chopped
    • 1 pinch saffron
    • 12 ounces Carbe Diem orzo
    • ½ cup white wine
    • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
    • 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
    • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

  • Steps

    1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add saffron and orzo and toast for 2 minutes, stirring often. 
    2. Add white wine and stir until absorbed. Add stock and bring to a simmer. Decrease heat to low, cover, and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and orzo is tender, about 15 minutes.
