Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo – Important Tips

  • I am using fettuccine, but you can use any shape of pasta like penne or spaghetti, etc.
  • If you don’t have shredded parmesan in hand, use a regular block of parmesan, but make sure to grate it with Microplane so that it melts well.
  • Avoid Pre Shredded parmesan because the sauce will become thin and not that creamy.

  • Try to use heavy cream instead of whipping cream, using whipping cream will make your sauce too thinner, its simply because it has less fat content.
  • Of course, you can use more parmesan cheese to adjust the thickness of your sauce if using whipping cream
  • When you open the lid the sauce will look watery and thin, don’t worry as the sauce starts to cool down it will thicken.

How to make this instant pot chicken alfredo vegetarian?

Just skip the chicken and the chicken broth and use vegetable broth instead. The rest will be the same.
