  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • zest of one lemon
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • salt (to taste)
  • white pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 8 ounces grilled chicken, sliced and warmed (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • 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.
