Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 4 cups Water
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
Add the fettuccine to the pressure cooker, breaking the strands in half if necessary to fit them inside.
Pour in 4 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Make sure the water just covers the pasta.
Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode on high for 4 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, finely chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Set the parsley aside.
Once the pressure cooking cycle is finished, allow the pressure to naturally release for 2 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for the remaining pressure.
Switch the pressure cooker to 'Sauté' mode. Stir in the butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in the heavy cream at this step.
Add the chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper to the pasta. Stir well to combine and ensure the butter coats the pasta evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
