Instructions

To the instant pot, press [SAUTE]. Once the pot is hot, melt the butter; add garlic and cook until fragrant. Then, deglaze the pot with chicken broth. Stir in the salt and pepper.
Layer the fettuccine noodles in a crisscross pattern of about 4 layers. Use your fingers to separate any noodles that are too close to each other. This will prevent it from sticking together and not cooking properly. Pour heavy cream over the noodles. Do not stir.
Close the lid, making sure the pressure release valve is in the sealing position. Press [PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL] on high pressure for 5 minutes (for al dente).
Once the timer goes off, let it naturally release pressure for 4 minutes (display will say L0:04) before doing a controlled release of short spurts until the pressure is fully released.
Open the lid and stir in the parmesan cheese. Then, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken up.
Serve immediately with additional parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Notes

To thin out the sauce: add a few splashes of heavy cream or broth.
To thicken the sauce: add more parmesan cheese or select the [Sauté] mode on the instant pot and let the liquid boil off. (Note: Hold off on doing this step right away. Once it cools down, the pasta will soak up most of the liquid).
