For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese. If you don't have cantanzaro herbs, a standard Italian herb blend will work, but the flavor profile will be slightly different. Ensure your Instant Pot is clean and free of debris before starting to prevent the 'burn' error. Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your liking. Some prefer a thicker, cheesier sauce.
