tuscan chicken pasta

This is one of the tastiest things to make in your instant pot, and it's so EASY! It's deliciously creamy, amazingly hearty and just perfectly satisfying. A recipe you'll want on repeat.

Instant Pot Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta

(32 oz) carton low-sodium chicken broth

oil tomatoes

Italian seasoning

Tbsp minced garlic

Salt and black pepper

chicken

oz uncooked campanelle pasta

oz fresh baby spinach

cheese ((use fresh shredded))

basil

In an instant pot insert stir together broth, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (season with more at the end if needed).

Stir in chicken and pasta (and try to submerge down into broth).

Secure the lid in place, be sure pressure valve is set to "sealing" position. Select the "manual" setting or high pressure and set to 5 minutes.

After the time is up select "cancel" then use the quick release method to release pressure - which is to carefully turn the valve to "venting" position and step back as steam will release.

Once it stops sputtering open lid and immediately stir noodles to separate then stir in spinach, light cream cheese and parmesan.

Toss well. Let rest for about 5 - 10 minutes to thicken (it will seem like soup at first but as it rests and cools it will thicken right up).

Toss in basil just before serving and serve warm (you can also garnish with a few diced sun dried tomatoes if desired).

Pasta

Learn how to make our beginner-friendly recipe for creamy and delicious Instant Pot Tuscan chicken pasta. Larger shaped pasta and diced chicken are cooked together with sun-dried tomato, garlic and chicken stock, then finished with spinach, Parmesan and cream. This American-Italian classic is a popular dinner meal for the whole family.

Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta

chicken stock (32 fl. oz., 1 litre)

½ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes

garlic,

Dijon yellow mustard

tomato sauce tomatoes (or 1 tablespoon tomato paste)

(340 g) dry penne, fusilli or rigatoni pasta

basil leaves

Parmesan cheese and black pepper

1. Prep

Prepare all ingredients for the cooking stage.

2. Add ingredients

Add the chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, seasoning, garlic, mustard, tomato sauce and dry pasta to the pot. Pour in the chicken stock and stir through. Check that the pasta and chicken are covered with the stock. It’s always better to have a little more liquid as it can be strained once cooked.

4. Set &amp; cook

Secure and lock the lid; make sure the pressure handle is pointing to Sealing. Select Manual/Pressure Cook and adjust the timer to 5 minutes on HIGH pressure. After a few seconds, the ON sign will come on indicating the pressure is building (you might also hear 3 beeps on some models); pressurizing will take about 12 minutes and then the 5-minute timer will begin.

Once the timer is done, release the pressure manually right away. Press the steam knob down gradually (or point to Venting on older models. Hold a towel over the steam valve to catch any foam, which can spurt out when you cook starchy foods like pasta or potatoes in lots of broth.

5. Finish the pasta

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the finishing ingredients and garnishes.

Open the lid. Most of the liquid should be absorbed into the pasta but there will be a little left, which will combine with cheese and cream to form the delicious sauce.

Add baby spinach, cream, Parmesan cheese, and stir through until all melted in and the spinach is wilted. You can cover the pot with a regular lid and let sit for a minute if needed. Taste for salt and pepper. Stir in the basil last.

6. Serve

Top with extra basil, sliced sun-dried tomatoes and extra Parmesan cheese on top.

I am always craving this pasta if I haven't had it in awhile and this has been on my meal rotation for the past few weeks because it's easy, it's super family-friendly even for picky eaters, and it's really easy to get together the minimal ingredients. Thanks for this one!! Instant classic!

Very good. Used 16oz of pasta so added a smidge more broth.  Also probably had 1.3 lb of chicken.

This easy Tuscan Chicken Pasta recipe includes seasoned, crusted chicken in a creamy tuscan sauce, served over your favorite kind of pasta.
