Pumpkin and gorgonzola risotto brings together two flavors that know how to stand out in fall. On one side, there's the orange sweetness of pumpkin; on the other, the savory, creamy, melting quality of gorgonzola, a cheese that always delivers great satisfaction in risottos. The rice, toasted, deglazed, and finished with expert mantecatura, completes a comforting dish full of character, suited both to family dinners and to occasions when you want to prepare something special. In short, if you love well-balanced contrasts, this is one of those recipes to bookmark right away.

Radicchio risotto

Radicchio risotto is a fall first course with a comforting flavor, perfect if you're looking for something simple but with a little extra edge. The radicchio is showcased in two textures: soft, after being sautéed in the pan, and fresh and raw on the finished plate, to add more nuance to every forkful. Creamy and versatile, it works well both for a weeknight dinner and for a more polished table, especially if you want to customize it with a crunchy note or make it even more indulgent. An elegant and very seasonal way to change up risotto without straying from tradition.
