Instant Pot Risotto in a matter of minutes
Risotto is one of those dishes that many of us have reserved for dining out because it requires a bit too much attention. But what if I told you that this Instant Pot Risotto makes the classic creamy Italian rice dish a weeknight dinner option? Read on for the recipe and a few details.
This Instant Pot Risotto is a game changer! Making risotto on the stovetop is not hard at all, but it is time-consuming. It requires stirring constantly, which can be its own kind of therapy, but one that’s not usually good for a weeknight.
But you can easily make Instant Pot Risotto!
The version I share here doesn’t use wine. I love adding wine when I have it, but it’s not something I keep on hand so I like having the option to not need it.

Quick and Easy Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash
Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to pasta if you’re trying to cut carbs. Even if you’re not concerned about counting carbs, this vegetable is so good. And I think you’ll be amazed at how quickly and easily Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash cooks.
I like serving it with salt, pepper and grated Parmesan for an easy lunch. Or top it with a quick spaghetti sauce with Italian sausage for a heartier meal.
The Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash is the easiest way to cook perfect spaghetti squash.
Cutting the squash in half horizontally will yield longer “noodles” because the fibers of the squash run horizontally. I find that cooking half the squash at once works best for me.
One squash is typically enough to feed four people if you’re topping it with a meat-based sauce. If the squash is small enough, you can do both halves, but often they’re a bit too big to fit in the pot at once.
Prep time is very short – just a minute or two to cut it in half, then scoop out the seeds with a spoon. And once your pot comes to pressure, you’re only about 17 minutes to a cooked squash!
