Instant Pot risotto, grilled chicken Marbella and more easy recipes to make this week

Mix up your summer menu.
Emily Connor

Some say August is the Sunday of summer — the last month to relax before the busy back-to-school season starts up again. So, while you still have a little extra time on your hands, we rounded up a handful of fun recipes that will help you slow things down and savor the moment.

This week we have a mix of tried-and-true and brand-new dishes for your dinner table. We're bringing back two fan favorites from this time last year that are classics made easier by their cooking methods — shrimp risotto in an Instant Pot and chicken Marbella on the grill. Also on the menu are some serious comfort foods. Cheeseburger spaghetti pie is the ultimate casserole mashup and fried chicken with coconut grits is the perfect sweet and savory bite. Finally for dessert, a Neapolitan pound cake. This chocolate, vanilla and strawberry masterpiece is new to our dessert library, and it's one you're going to want to make over and over again.

What to cook this week

Instant Pot Corn and Tomato Risotto with Shrimp

No need to stand over the stove with this Instant Pot risotto recipe. Just use the sauté function to sear the shrimp, then continue to add in the rest of the ingredients. It only takes about 20 minutes to cook!

Grilled Chicken Marbella

When you need dinner on the table in a pinch, skip the usual hour of oven time and make chicken Marbella on the grill instead. The key is soaking quick-cooking boneless thighs in the marinade twice.

Cheeseburger Spaghetti Pie

If you can't decide between pasta or patties, try this cheeseburger spaghetti pie for the best of both worlds. You can use any ground meat you like for this recipe, and even prep it ahead of time for a quick weeknight meal.

Hot Honey Fried Chicken with White Cheddar-Coconut Grits

Summer entertaining is made easy with this four-part spread. Hot honey fried chicken is the star of the show, but it pairs incredibly well with roasted tomatoes, coconut grits and a mustard sauce.

Neapolitan Pound Cake

Which flavor do you usually reach for in a Neapolitan ice cream pint? Have a bite of each with this pound cake that perfectly blends sweet vanilla, rich chocolate and fruity strawberry all together.
