This is outstanding. I have made it a few times now and it is consistently perfect with wonderful flavor. I added some fresh tarragon and sautéed wild mushrooms at the end. It was delicious, and I am not a big fan of risotto. My husband is, so I wanted to perfect it for him. I have tried many other recipes in the past, but this one by far had the best flavor and had the most consistent results. This won't disappoint!
Prosecco and Parmesan Risotto

The pressure cooker creates creamy risotto in a hands-free way. We tried this with Carnaroli and Arborio; we liked the forgiving nature of Carnaroli, which remained al dente, while Arborio rice produced a softer grain in the cooker. Don't worry if the rice is a tad runny after cooking--it thickens as it stands before serving.
