Instant Pot Parmesan Lemon Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
• When butter is melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until lightly browned.
• Add broth, lemon zest and 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Break noodles in half and fan across the bottom of the pot, making sure all noodles are submerged.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function (*The MANUAL and PRESSURE COOK buttons are interchangeable). Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Stir, breaking up any pasta clumps and allow to cool slightly.
• Add parmesan cheese, half-and-half and remaining 2 tbsp of lemon juice. Add salt and white pepper to taste.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water. Stir into the pot until thickened, using SAUTE mode, as needed.
• Serve warm topped with grilled chicken (optional), finely chopped parsley and additional parmesan.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add butter, and select Saute function. When butter melts, add chicken and onion and saute until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Push Cancel to end Saute function.
• Add dry pasta, chicken stock, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; stir with a wooden or plastic spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir in heavy cream, Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Let the pasta sit in the pot until the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
