**Please layer the ingredients in the order listed below.**
Place the pasta noodles into the stainless steel liner of the Instant Pot. Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream over the noodles. Press the noodles down so they’re mostly covered by liquid.
8 ounces short pasta, 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Next pour in the pasta sauce and top it with the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Don’t stir!
1 cup marinara sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Close the lid, and make sure the valve is set to "Sealing."
Use the manual (pressure cook) button to adjust the time to 5 minutes. After the time is up, open the valve to release the pressure (quick release).
Stir the noodles and sauce. Top with your favorite cheese, fresh basil, or parsley. Serve hot.
