Making risotto in a pressure cooker is so much faster and easier than on the stovetop! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to stir constantly, and the rice comes out perfectly tender and creamy every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to make risotto bolognese on the stovetop with my recipe from Barbara Bakes<\/a>. But since converting it to a convenient pressure cooker recipe, I no longer cook it any other way!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Update: <\/strong>I\u2019ve updated this recipe with new tips, tricks, and photos for perfectly creamy bolognese risotto in the pressure cooker. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Instant Pot Risotto Bolognese<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Risotto Bolognese recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve made a few other improvements to this recipe to adapt it for an Instant Pot. First, I added savory pork sausage. (You can use chicken sausage if you prefer.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

You\u2019ll sear the sausage in the pressure cooking pot as a first step to build flavor in the risotto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, instead of pureeing the vegetables as I do for my stovetop risotto, I left them whole in this recipe. The saut\u00e9ed carrot, onion, and celery add color, texture, and flavor to the final dish. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Is Risotto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Risotto is a classic Northern Italian rice dish made with long-cooked rice and melted cheese for a creamy, almost pudding-like texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its most basic, risotto is a creamy, cheesy base for a variety of meats and sauces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s easy and fun to elevate risotto to an entire main dish on its own, as we did here. From meats and vegetables to nuts and dried fruit, you can add texture and flavor to risotto to round out the dish.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Rice Is Best for Risotto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using Arborio rice for this recipe.<\/strong> It\u2019s the classic Italian grain for creamy risotto that doesn’t turn to mush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t find arborio, any Italian rice works well. In a pinch, you can use sushi rice. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
