For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth or chicken broth.
Toasting the Arborio rice is crucial for developing the nutty flavor and preventing the risotto from becoming too mushy.
Ensure the pressure cooker is properly sealed to maintain the correct cooking pressure.
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can make this risotto in a regular pot. Add the warm broth gradually, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. This method will take approximately 20-25 minutes.

    I've always been intimidated by risotto, but this recipe made it seem so approachable. The pancetta adds a wonderful salty, savory note.

    Delicious! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and it was fantastic.
