Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops
Today I’m guest posting over on one of my favorite blogs, Delicious Dishings, while Megan and Jeff are in Italy on their honeymoon. Megan asked for an Italian themed dish and I made this amazing Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops. Be sure to click through to see more about it including the recipe.

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the pasta.
I made this tonight and it was truly one of the worse things I’ve made; the sauce was really chunky and dry, and stuck in my throat every time I took a bite, and the garlic made it even drier. I would not recommend this to anyone.
This is very good. Leaving some of the pasta water is important, as well as adding the olive oil. Grating the beet into the pasta made a gorgeous colored magenta. Eating pasta right away prevents drying out. An optional addition could be adding a can of coconut milk to make a pink saucy dish. Topped with nuts and cheese, yes!
