Recipe Card
ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 white onion (diced)
- 1/2 cups white wine
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 8 ounces pasta
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley
Method
Step 1
Press sauté on your Instant Pot or pressure cooker and wait for it to heat up. Once hot add olive oil and the onions. Sauté the onion until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 2
Add white wine and deglaze the pot, scrape the bottom of the pot so that there are no burned bits stuck on the bottom. This prevents a burning error later when pressure cooking.
Step 3
Add vegetable broth, salt and pepper, cream, cream cheese and parmesan. Mix well while heating until you have a smooth, cheesy sauce. Break long pasta in half and add to pot. Add lemon juice. Mix well and then push the pasta down into the sauce.
Step 4
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and cook according to the directions in the post above for the perfect amount of time to cook pasta in the instant pot.
Step 5
Once the pressure cooking time has elapsed allow the pressure to release naturally (i.e leave the instant pot alone when the beeping stops) for 5 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure and open. Mix the pasta and sauce well. The pasta might have stuck together slightly, but keep mixing and it will separate.
Step 6
If the sauce isn't thick enough for your liking, you can press the sauté button on your Instant Pot and thicken the sauce for a few minutes.
Step 7
Serve immediately with chopped fresh parsley and lemon slices.
