Process
Cut the pumpkin into pieces and cook it in a pan for 6-7 minutes, adding salt, pepper and the hot vegetable broth so that it does not stick to the bottom. Cook for another 15 minutes, until it becomes soft. In a hot saucepan, sauté the shallot, add the rice and let it toast for a few minutes. Then blend with white wine and gradually add the broth as the rice absorbs it. Five minutes before the end of cooking, add the already cooked pumpkin, so that it mixes with the risotto. While cooking is finishing, grate the Asiago DOP Mezzano. Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the risotto together with the butter, to cream it. Serve hot on a flat plate, which will allow the rice to cool more quickly, making the wait shorter to taste it.
