Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin
- ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
- Salt And Pepper
- 6 cups Water
- 2 cups Orzo Or Arborio Rice
- 2 Tablespoons Pine Nuts
- ½ Tablespoons Sage
- 1 whole Tomato

Preparation Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Peel pumpkin using a potato peeler. Cut 1/8 of the pumpkin into small squares, about 1/2 inch thick. Toss pumpkin squares with olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pieces are easily pierced by a toothpick. Set aside to cool.
Heat water until boiling, then add rice and stir occasionally. After 8 minutes (orzo) or 18 minutes (arborio), drain rice and put back into the pot. Add pumpkin cubes, pine nuts, and sage. Garnish with tomato slices and fresh basil.
