INSTANT POT Asparagus-Parmesan Risotto image

After watching cooking shows in which they served risotto, I knew I needed to find a recipe for it. This one is delicious and has been given a 'two thumbs up' by my family. The recipe might not take an hour to make, but the time is allowing for the Instant Pot to pressurize twice.
