One Pot Tomato Basil Pasta

3 cups chicken broth

8 oz angel hair pasta, broken in half

2 tsp minced garlic, dried

2 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch chunks

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (not the powdered stuff!)

1 cup roma tomatoes, diced (approx 3 small tomatoes)

1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

 

Add the chicken broth to the Instant Pot. Place the broken pasta into the Instant Pot, alternating directions making a criss-cross pattern. Add the minced garlic, chicken chunks and salt and pepper to the Instant Pot. Cook on Manual HIGH for 2 minutes followed by a 3-minute NPR before releasing the remaining pressure manually. Turn the Instant Pot OFF. Add the evaporated milk to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Stir in the shredded parmesan cheese. Stir in the tomatoes and basil. Replace lid and let the pasta sit for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to soak up the tomato and basil flavor. Season the pasta with salt and pepper again and serve. Notes: Keep that extra evaporated milk! After the 10 minutes is up, sometimes the pasta soaks up a lot of the sauce, if you prefer yours saucier, simply add an additional 1/4 cup of evaporated milk.
