Ever tried making pasta in a pressure cooker? Since I’ve got a @nutricookworld on my kitchen top, I’m experimenting quite a few recipes everyday and pasta had to be one. Would a pressure cooker cook pasta without turning it too mushy? Turns out, that it absolutely works and a delicious one at that!
Here I’ve made a creamy chicken pasta, sautéing chicken with salt and chili flakes in olive oil and then letting pasta cook in chicken stock (for extra flavor); then mixed with spinach, cheese, and cream. It’s a perfect easy weeknight dinner recipe when I have to run between Ammar’s classes. Also, easy peasy to make in the morning rush when I miss a 5 am alarm for school (true story ?).

- 250g boneless chicken, cut into cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
