Notes

  • Nutritional information is per serving (1/6th the recipe). A 12oz box of pasta should be enough to serve up to 6 people. 
  • Protein options: Recipe will work with boneless skinless chicken thighs or ground beef. Follow the same directions as the chicken breasts. 
  • To Make Vegan or Vegetarian: Simply Replace the chicken with your favorite veggies such as mushrooms, or zucchini or make it with just the tomato sauce. 
  • To Make it Creamy: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy creamy after opening the instant pot, just before adding the cheese.
