Creamy Bowtie Pasta Food

CREAMY BOW TIE PASTA

Steps:

• Turn Instant Pot (IP) to the "Saute" mode and allow it to heat until it reads "HOT"!
• Add butter or olive oil to IP and allow to melt, then toss in chopped mushrooms and saute until soft, a few minutes. Turn off IP.
• Pour in broth (or water), scraping the bottom of the pan to release any bits, this is called deglazing the pan.
• Add garlic, pepper, onion powder, heavy cream and Prosecco, give it all a quick stir.
• Pour in bow tie pasta, pressing down lightly with wooden spoon until evenly distributed and most of it is under liquid.
• Close IP lid, lock and secure (close vent) and set to Manual/Pressure Cook for 4 minutes. It takes about 5 minutes to come to pressure, allow for a 4-5 minute natural release (longer if at altitude), then release the rest of the steam, carefully.
• Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, the sauce will thicken as it cools. If desired, sprinkle with some chopped Italian parsley or fresh basil.
• I do not recommend freezing a cream based recipe like this, but this does store well in the fridge up to 7 days. See below for reheating instructions.
• This recipe may be doubled, if making in the instant pot, if too watery when you release the pressure, simply turn IP to simmer and stir until desired thickness.
