Make Risotto with Caramelized Onions and Roasted Pumpkin

Recipe Name: Risotto with Caramelized Onions and Roasted Pumpkin

Ingredients:
- 1 cup riso (Arborio rice)
- 2 cups latte (milk)
- 1 cipolla (onion)
- 1 cup zucca (pumpkin), diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the diced pumpkin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
3. In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
4. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling.
5. Add the riso to the skillet with the caramelized onions and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is coated with oil.
6. Begin adding the warm milk, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more.
7. Continue this process until the risotto is creamy and the rice is cooked al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
8. Stir in the roasted pumpkin and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve the risotto hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
