Method

1

Melt 20g of butter and oil in a heavy-based saucepan on low heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 mins, until soft and golden. Add pumpkin and stir to coat in butter and oil.

2

Add rice and stir to coat grains. Stir in the wine and heat until evaporated. Add stock one ladle at a time, allowing liquid to absorb between additions, stirring, for 16-18 mins, until rice is creamy and cooked but still firm to bite. 5 min before the rice is ready, add 2/3 of the Pumpkin + Amaretti sauce.

3

After letting the dough rest, roll it out and cut out 6-8 cm discs. Brush half of the dish with a little water. Fill the centre with a spoonful of filling. Seal the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out; fold the edge slightly and press the center in a little to give the casoncelli their characteristic half-moon shape.

4

Remove from heat and stir through cheese, remaining butter and two-thirds of the amaretti, until creamy. Spoon into bowls, top with remaining amaretti and serve.
