Place the oil and butter in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker. Select Sauté and let oil and butter heat for 2 to 3 minutes. When hot, add the chopped shallots, carrots, garlic, and basil. Cook, stirring now and then, until shallots are translucent and vegetables become aromatic, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in Arborio rice and cook, stirring frequently, until rice becomes opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine and salt, stir. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice has absorbed the wine. Add 4-½ cups of the broth/stock and stir. Cover and lock lid in place. Select High Pressure and set timer for 6 minutes. When audible beep sounds use Quick-Release Method to release pressure. Turn off. When float valve drops, remove lid carefully, tilting away from you to allow steam to disperse. Select Simmer. Add remaining ½ cup of broth/stock to rice and stir. Cook, uncovered, stirring now and then for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in asparagus, peas, snow peas, and zucchini. Cook, stirring, bright green and crisp tender to taste. Stir in cheeses and cook 1 minute. Serve in warmed soup plates and sprinkle with fresh parsley. If desired pass more grated Parmesan or Asiago.
