Pumpkin & Rosemary Risotto
Pumpkin, Parmesan and Rosemary Fused Olive Oil give this Arborio rice risotto a creamy texture and a savory, woodsy flavor. Fresh rosemary goes in too, so the herb holds its own against the sweet pumpkin. Serve it in warm bowls with extra Parmesan, especially if someone has already claimed the grater.

- 2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
