Ingredients

  • 8 oz linguini broken in half
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Turn the instant pot to sautee. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant
  • Add the vegetable broth and the linguini, broken in half. Stir the noodles around and press them down so that they are totally submerged in the liquid.
  • Place the instant pot lid on and set to sealing
  • Turn to manual/high and cook for 9 minutes
  • Once the timer beeps, do a quick release
  • Once the pin drops, remove the lid
  • Stir in the salt, heavy cream and parmesan cheese
  • Continue to stir the creamy noodles for around 5 minutes, or until the liquid absorbs into the noodles. It will look like too much liquid at first, this is normal. Just keep stirring until the noodles have absorbed most of the sauce and are super creamy
  • Turn off the instant pot and serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan cheese on top if desired

Notes

This is best enjoyed immediately. If you leave it on the heat too long the sauce will dry out and absorb completely into the noodles.
