Instant Pot Goat Cheese Pumpkin Risotto

Quincy Hayes

Report

This instant pot pumpkin risotto recipe is creamy and luxurious. The pumpkin and the fall spices really come together in a delicate way, and the tartness of the goat cheese is a delicious little surprise in the end. The best part? You can get this pretty dish done without standing over your stove stirring and stirring and STIRRING! Oh, and the sweet roasted pumpkin garnish is totally optional, but if I'm being honest, you should definitely not skip it!
