  4. Release pressure carefully using the natural release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Select Saute mode.

  5. Remove lid, pour in half-and-half, and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper.

Tips

Bacon may be used in place of pancetta, if desired.
