Mushroom Alfredo Instant Pot IP step by step

1. Today I am using baby bellows but button I use also. Slice them, how you like. These will also give the final product a light brown color, use button mushrooms to reduce that affect..
2. Clean and chop garlic.
3. Set the IP to saute.
4. Add butter to IP.
5. Add garlic to butter once it melts, stir for a minute.
6. Add mushrooms and stir.
7. Stir and cook until done to your liking, i like them just cooked, almost impossible, due to steam to get a picture.
8. Add broth, this is what I use. This does give the final product a slight brown instead of white color. Use water if you don't like that..
9. Add cream, about best we have available here.
10. Stir to blend.
11. Add salt and pepper, and stir.
12. Break pasta in half, and drop it in randomly. I found this stops then from sticking together, which happens if you drop them in all in a bunch..
13. Then press the pasta down as best you can to cover them with liquid..
14. Set to pressure cook as follows; 6 minutes el dente, 7 minutes normal, 8 minutes soft. I like 6, the wife 8, we compromised 😊.
15. When time is done, hit cancel (turn off warming), let sit 1-2 minutes (no longer). Quick release remaining pressure.
16. Optional peas - If you choose to add green peas, add them now..
17. Optional peas - Stir them in..
18. Give a quick store and then put the lid back on, you do not need to seal it, we are just letting it sit for 3 minutes, do not skip this step, even if NOT using peas! You will have problems with melting your cheese if you do..
19. After wait, add parmesan to pot.
20. Stir until cheese melts and is completely incorporated..
21. Serve..

Combine mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery, salt, bay leaf, and water in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place pasta, broth, garlic, salt and oil into the instant pot and mix well. You may have to break the pasta in half in order for it to fit. Place the lid onto the instant pot and close the pressure release valve. Layer the stainless steel bowl with Alfredo sauce ingredients (except the cheese and seasoning) on the pasta in the Instant Pot.
