- 300g pumpkin, chopped into small 1 cm cubes
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 200g mushrooms, diced

Instructions
- In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the onion and pumpkin, and fry for 7 minutes on medium heat until the onion is soft and the pumpkin has a little colour.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic, cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked.
- Pour in the risotto packet and give everything a good stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock, stir to combine.
- Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little more stock, ¼ cup at a time, if it is cooking too quickly.
- Once the risotto is cooked, add the wilted spinach and Parmesan, stir through, cover, and leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.
- To serve, sprinkle with extra Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Hints & Tips
- Quick tip – place your fresh spinach in a bowl and cook in the microwave for 30 second intervals until wilted. It makes its easier to stir through your risotto.
- Serve as a standalone meal or add your favourite protein such as grilled chicken or lamb chops. Lemon wedges on the side add a touch of zing to this rich and creamy dish.
- This dish is also great served in bowls with a poached egg each.
- Store in the fridge for 3 days. Suitable for freezing.
