Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 16 ounces penne pasta
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cups frozen peas
Instructions
- Place the Instant Pot on the Saute-Normal function. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook until fragrant - about 2 minutes.
- Add the pasta, water and salt - no need to stir.
- Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the sealing position. Turn the instant Pot to pressure cook for 4 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot has finished, release the pressure by switching the valve to the "venting" position - be careful, it will steam!
- Add the remaining ingredients (parmesan, cream, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and peas) and stir to combine.
- Place the lid back on the Instant Pot (it should be on the keep warm setting) and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the peas have warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
