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)
Directions
Step 1
Add the fettuccine to the pressure cooker, breaking the strands in half if necessary to fit them inside.
Step 2
Pour in 4 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Make sure the water just covers the pasta.
Step 3
Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode on high for 4 minutes.
Step 4
While the pasta cooks, finely chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Set the parsley aside.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Switch the pressure cooker to 'Sauté' mode. Stir in the butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 7
If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in the heavy cream at this step.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
