How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry for Arborio rice and olive oil. Move on to the fridge for fresh sage leaves, a lemon, and garlic. Make sure you have vegetable broth—boxed or homemade. Pumpkin puree is usually canned, so look in your cupboard. Gather nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, and check for shallots. You’ll need dry white wine for deglazing, and toasted pepitas for garnish. Ground nutmeg, kosher salt, and black pepper round out the flavors. Cross off anything you already have before you shop.
Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t substitute other rice for Arborio; it won’t get creamy. Using pumpkin pie filling instead of plain pumpkin puree will add unwanted spices and sweetness. Skipping nutritional yeast will make the dish less rich. Don’t use dried sage—fresh sage leaves are key for flavor. Avoid overcooking the rice; risotto should be creamy, not mushy.
