Peace Out Summer Supper
As summer wraps up let’s say peace out to the season by eating this delicious, bright and seasonal supper. Lots of fresh vegetables (I used garden squash and tomatoes), the tang from balsamic vinegar and the pillowy gnocchi make a perfect combination! You can eat this dinner hot or cold.

Add in corn, squash, broccoli and mushrooms to a steamer basket. Place steamer basket into bottom of Instant Pot.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 2 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid.

Notes/Tips
- This recipe doesn’t have any meat in it but if you’d like you can add in some cooked, chopped chicken.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in an 8 quart pot.
- I like this silicone steamer basket*.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can also make this with 16 ounces of orzo pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions and pressure cook the vegetables as stated in the recipe. Then stir everything together.
- If you have 4 ounces of leftover mushrooms try making OSU Casserole.
