This is such a good instant pot meal! It comes together so fast, and I know your family will love this dish without the red sauce. Add frozen shrimp for a good source of protein.
8 ounces of spaghetti
½ c yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 cup of half and half
4 ounces of cream cheese, cubed
2 cups of chicken stock
2 cups of large shrimp, tail removed
½ c of mushrooms
½ c grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter
Turn the instant pot to saute.
Add olive oil and onion and saute for 3 minutes, or until the onions are tender, stirring as needed.
Add garlic and saute for 1 minute.
Turn off the instant pot.
Add chicken stock.
Break spaghetti noodles in half and submerge them into the stock.
All noodles should be covered by the stock. Stir them to adjust their placement if needed.
Add shrimp. As I used tail on, I chopped the tails off right before adding to the instant pot.
Add butter.
Place the lid of the instant pot and seal the instant pot.
Set the instant pot to manual and set the timer to 5 minutes.
When the timer dings, quick release the steam.
Remove the lid and add the half and half, parmesan cheese and cream cheese.
Stir.
Add mushrooms and stir.
Replace the lid on the instant pot and allow the cheeses to melt in the pasta for about 5 minutes.
Stir and serve immediately.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
