STEP 5Set Instant Pot to manual for 5 minutes. Once the pasta finishes cooking, do an instant Release. Open the lid to the Instant Pot and add in the cream and the parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Enjoy!
WHY MAKE PASTA IN THE INSTANT POT?I know. You're thinking, I can just make this on the stovetop. The perks of cooking pasta this way is that I feel like the pasta is so much more flavorful. The pasta cooks in the chicken broth and tomato sauce, which makes it infinitely more scrumptious.
CAN I USE MARINARA SAUCE INSTEAD OF TOMATO SAUCE?Yes! If you’d like, you can use marinara sauce instead of tomato sauce. In fact, I use this combination in my Instant Pot Pasta with Palomino Sauce, and it is a delicious combination!
