Ingredients
- 8 ounces Spaghetti
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2/3 cup onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely diced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup cream I used heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese pecorino Romano works well too
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
To garnish:
- Parmesan Cheese
- parsley leaves chopped
- red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Heat the instant pot in saute mode and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes while stirring frequently. The mushrooms will release their water and then brown. Take the mushrooms out on a plate and keep aside for later.
- In the same pot (no need to clean), add another tablespoon of oil and then sauté the onions and garlic for a couple of minutes. Turn off the instant pot.
- Add the broth and deglaze the pot making sure nothing is stuck to the bottom.
- Break the spaghetti noodles in half and spread them making sure all the spaghetti is covered in broth. Close lid with vent in sealing position.
- Pressure Cook the pasta noodles on high pressure for 5 minutes. The general rule of thumb is to pressure cook pasta for 1 minute less than half the time on the pasta box.
- When the instant pot beeps, quick release the pressure manually.
- Add the cream, parmesan and stir well until the cheese melts.
- Then add back the sautéed mushrooms and stir well.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon juice.
- Garnish with parmesan and parsley before serving.

Notes
- Mushroom - I used cremini mushrooms, but feel free to use other varieties. I feel that the earthy cremini mushrooms add a much better flavor to this pasta. I like to saute and take out the mushrooms, so they are not getting overcooked when pressure cooking the pasta.
- Spaghetti - You can also use whole wheat spaghetti noodles. They do hold up well when cooked in the instant pot.
- Broth - I used vegetable broth. But other broths would work just as well.
- Parmesan - I have tried this recipe with parmesan and pecorino romano. Both work great. Use cheese from a block, and not the pre-shredded one.
- Cream - I used heavy whipping cream. Feel free to adjust the quantity to make this lighter.
