Instant Pot Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta
This Instant Pot Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta is a creamy delicious pasta dream come true. My favorite dishes to make in my instant pot usually involve pasta. I have a big slice of Italian in my heritage but was never really raised around of all the delicious dishes. Once I started cooking, the Italian in me would start shining in my cooking. I love to cook Italian dishes and it is definitely my families favorites as well.
Living in New Jersey and very close to Manhattan, I have had some of the most delicious authentic Italian meals. I like to think I am some sort of an Italian cuisine expert. 🙂 I love the combination of roasted peppers and spinach. This is a great way to sneak some veggies into those kiddos too!
This delicious recipe needs only some delicious crusty bread and a side salad. Serve this with a delicious Instant Pot Creme Brulee or Instant Pot Creamy Orange Cheesecake and you have one delicious dinner.
