TAKE A LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS EASY FETTUCCINE ALFREDO RECIPE BELOW!
Instant Pot diner recipe ingredients:
- Garlic or Chicken Broth
- Fettuccine
- Butter
- Heavy Cream or Half & half
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Garlic Powder
- Black Pepper
- Boursin herb Cheese (any flavor) or Cream Cheese
MAKE SURE TO HAVE THESE ITEMS ON HAND AS WELL FOR THIS FETTUCCINE ALFREDO RECIPE!
- Serving Bowl
- Trivet
- Blender
- Instant Pot (THIS one will work great!)
- 4 cups garlic or chicken broth (I used 4 teaspoons Garlic Better Than Bouillon + 4 cups water)
- 1 pound (whole box) fettuccine
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, divided in half
- 1½ – 2 cups (heavy cream (preferred) or half & half (see yellow "Jeffrey Sez" section)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 5.2 ounce package Boursin herb cheese (any flavor) or 4 ounces of a brick of cream cheese
- Add the broth to the Instant Pot. In batches, break the fettuccine in half so it fits in the pot and layer in a criss-cross fashion between batches. (NOTE: Sorry, nonnas! I’m aware that breaking pasta in half is an Italian sin, but I assure you the noodles will still feel plenty long. Besides, this also ensures even cooking and creates more portions!). DO NOT STIR the noodles, but rather just press down on them until they’re mostly submerged in the broth (it’s okay if some of the noodles stick above the broth). Top with half the stick of butter.
- Secure the lid, move the vale to the sealing position, and hit Manual or Pressure Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes. Quick release when done.
- When the lid comes off, give everything a stir (NOTE: If any noodles seem slightly fused together, keep stirring and lightly separating with the spatula. The noodles should separate easily.)
- Add the remaining half stick of butter and stir everything in the pot with a wooden spatula until the butter's melted.
- Lastly, add in the cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper and Boursin. Stir until melded, about 1 minute and let rest for 2 minutes to fully come together.
- Serve immediately and top with freshly cracked pepper, if desired. Goes great with garlic bread!
If you’d rather use linguine, which is slightly thinner than fettuccine, pressure cook for only 6 minutes instead of 7. Everything else remains the same.
Use up to 2 cups cream or half & half to make it even creamier and a slightly thinner sauce.
Want chicken added? Before Step 1, simply add hit Sauté on High/More and add in 1/4 cup of butter to the pot. Once melted, add in 1 pound of chicken breast that’s diced into bite-sized pieces. From there, continue with Step 1 but only top the noodles with 1/4 stick of butter instead of half a stick before pressure cooking so we have the same amount.
Want peas or diced ham added? Stir them in just after Step 5.
IMPORTANT: Due to all the dairy in the sauce, this dish is best eaten immediately after making it. When a dish of this nature begins to just sit in the pot for a while the sauce is prone to separate. SO if you have leftovers, store in the fridge immediately after serving. When reheating in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, add a little more cream to revive and stir halfway through. Then, stir in more Parmesan as desired to

The fact that it took me this long to share a recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo with you is unforgivable. But once you try this I have a feeling you'll give me a pinch on the cheeks. In true Instant POT fashion, this one is just about as unconventional as it gets (with NO straining the cooked pasta), but I can assure you that you've never EVER had an Alfredo as rich, cheesy, creamy or spectacular. extremely simple to put together and the Instant Pot does most of the work.

You can even make this at work if you are having a pot luck just bring your 5 ingredients with you and you can make it fresh there, or for after church a simple dinner to put together.
Quick and simple is the name of the game these days. More of my favorite quick desserts for this summer are our no bake eclair cake recipe, grandma’s 5 cup creamy fruit salad recipe, and our raspberry cream cheese jello salad.
