Instructions

  • Choose the sauté setting of your Instant Pot and add in the oil in the insert.

Notes

    • You could use water instead of broth but may need to increase the herbs and spices.
    • Add extra chicken broth if you like this with more liquid. 
    • Make with leftover shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken if you have some on hand. Add the spices directly to the chicken broth, cook the pasta in the broth and then add the chicken.
    • Use homemade chicken broth if you can – it will make a big difference in flavor. (You can use leftover broth from making an Instant Pot Whole Chicken or Instant Pot Chicken Thighs.)
    • If you don't want to add caraway seeds, add extra Italian seasoning.
    • Try adding a couple of pats of butter for a richer flavor.
    • The total cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get to pressure. Plan for additional time.
    • If you replace the olive oil used for frying with a calorie-controlled cooking spray, there are 6 Blue Plan Smart points per serving.
