Tortellini Alfredo in the Instant Pot
3 cups water (I used chicken broth)
2 tsp. salt
9 oz. fresh tortellini
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 Tbsp. butter (I think I will omit or cut down next time)
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 oz. Parmigiano-Reggian, grated (about 3/4 cup) (I used shredded Parmesan)
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup frozen peas, slightly thawed (I served those on the side instead)
1/4 cup cooked, chopped bacon
Place the water/broth, salt, and tortellini in the Instant Pot. Put the lid on and set vent to Seal. Cook on Manual High for 3 minutes. Allow for Quick Release of pressure. When pressure is fully released, open lid and press Cancel/Keep Warm. Add the heavy cream, butter, pepper, cheese, and nutmeg and press Saute. Bring to a boil, stirring to thicken the sauce. Add bacon when sauce is thickened. (Add peas with bacon if not serving them on the side.)
This was really good! I am going to make it again using chicken breast tenders instead of the tortellini. I will saute the chicken first then cook in 1 cup of broth. The rest of the recipe will stay the same.
