Instant pot pasta recipe
One of the best things you can prepare in your electric pressure cooker is this simple recipe. The adaptation of the well-known Italian meal is incredibly simple to make and incredibly filling. I like that all it takes to make a delicious chicken and cheese pasta dish with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach is to dirty your pressure cooker.
Don’t worry if the pasta appears a touch runny after cooking; you’ll need all that liquid to make the creamy sauce. Additionally, I prefer to add a blend of cream cheese and parmesan cheese to this delectable supper because it gives it richness and flavor.
Evaporated milk is the key ingredient, which I will also share with you. Because of this, the pasta comes out deliciously creamy, rich, and cheesy. While the spinach offers some freshness and a splash of color, the sun-dried tomatoes add a little chew and bitterness.
This quick recipe creates a delicious and convenient weeknight meal! You’ll appreciate your instant pot pressure cooker even more after eating this delicious chicken supper.
