Instructions
Recipe 16 - Creamy Chicken Tagliatelle
Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 25 min | 6 Servings
- Press sauté on your Instant Pot, add the olive oil and heat it up.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-8 minutes stirring, until the onion is translucent and starts to turn golden.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except for the frozen vegetables and cheese.
- Turn the sauté function off. Close the lid and turn the valve to sealing.
- Press Manual or Pressure Cooker button (depending on your model) and use the arrows to select 5 minutes. It will take about 12-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, depending on how cold the ingredients are.
- Once the 5 minutes of pressure cooking are up and your Instant Pot beeps that it's done do a manual quick release. I like putting a small kitchen towel on the pressure release valve to contain the steam a little bit. It took about 2 minutes to fully release the pressure.
- Open the lid, stir in the frozen vegetables if using, the grated cheese and stir to incorporate.
- Try to see if the pasta is cooked to your liking. It is usually just a tad too al-dente for me at this point.
- If you are serving this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta right away and the pasta is just a bit too al-dente, then close the lid and let the pasta sit for 3 minutes.
- If you are turning this pasta into a casserole, then transfer the casserole dish right away. Add the toppings (1/2 cup bread crumbs + 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese + 2 tablespoons chopped parsley) and broil for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is lightly golden.
