Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 336kcal
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce package of fettuccine noodles, broken in half - the cooktime for this recipe is based on fettucini pasta so if you change up the pasta watch the cooktime closely
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock - you can use store bought or homemade broth in this recipe. If using store bought I suggest buying low salt/low sodium so the recipe doesn’t turn out too salty
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to your liking
- ½ teaspoon black pepper adjust to your liking
- 4 cloves garlic minced - fresh garlic is best in this recipe
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter quartered
- 1 8 ounce container of heavy cream (1 cup) - do not substitute other types of cream, heavy cream is the best option
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese - fresh parmesan cheese is best try to avoid using the shelf stable parmesan cheese as the flavor just isn’t the same.
- Optional garnish: more freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley
Instructions
- Combine stock, garlic and salt and pepper in the instant pot.
- In a crisscross circular pattern, layer the noodles into the stock. This will help to keep the noodles from clumping together. Top with cream and pats of butter.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and check to make sure the vent it set in the sealed position.
- Cook for 6 minutes on high. Turn Instant Pot to manual and use the +/- to get to “6.”
- When the cooking time is over, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. After that, carefully release the remaining pressure and remove the lid.
- Stir the noodles into the sauce then stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- Place the lid back onto the Instant Pot and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the liquid.
- Serve hot with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and grated parmesan if desired.
