Instant Pot Butter Chicken Pasta
Directions
- 1Put the Instant Pot on sauté mode on high and add some oil.
- 2Sauté half of an onion until it is lightly golden brown.
- 3Add ginger and garlic paste and sauté until it no longer smells raw.
- 4Add the boneless chicken breast, cut into smaller cubes.
- 5Add one chicken bouillon cube and half a teaspoon of salt.
- 6Add butter chicken masala and some red chili powder (optional).
- 7Add a little bit of water to help sauté the spices down and loosen them up.
- 8Add a generous amount of tomato paste (about 4 tablespoons) and some splashes of water, while sautéing it down until it no longer smells raw and to loosen it up.
- 9Add the dry pasta (no need to boil beforehand) and mix it all together to get all the flavors incorporated.
- 10Add enough water to barely cover the pasta, but not more, to prevent it from getting mushy.
- 11Push down all of the pasta and chicken to make sure it's buried under the water to ensure it cooks evenly.
- 12Add the lid and put it on pressure cooker mode for 3 minutes on high.
- 13Release the pressure, using a towel to push the button on top, or the lever if you have a classic Instant Pot.
- 14Lift the lid and look at the perfectly cooked pasta.
- 15Add some heavy cream and stir it in really well until the sauce thickens up nicely.
- 16Add some mozzarella cheese (or any kind of stringy cheese you want) and some chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish.
- 17Mix the dish and enjoy.
