I needed to get rid of abundance of pumpkins in my house. My rizotto did not look like on the picture,because all pumkin "melted" into the rice and you couldn't see it at all. I did not use any bacon and used some dried hebs for flavor I'm giving it 4 stars for flavor and 5 stars for the idea. Thank you.
