I love how easy it is to make pasta in my Instant Pot, so when I thought of unique dishes, I instantly (get it) thought of making a Instant Pot Butter Chicken Pasta. I have made a version of this dish before with Paneer, but this recipe is so easy and quick! It can also entertain a crowd so perfect for hosting! Check the recipe out and let me know what you think!

Instant Pot Butter Chicken Pasta

 2 tbsp coconut oil
 1 large onions (diced)
 1 tbsp ginger paste
 1 tbsp garlic paste
 8 oz chicken thighs (cubed)
 2 tsp coriander powder
 2 tsp garam masala
 1 tsp chili powder
 2 tsp turmeric powder
 2 tsp cumin powder
 2 tsp black pepper
 2 tsp salt
 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
 2 cups cauliflower florets
 2 green bell peppers (cubed)
 1 cup tomato sauce
 2 cups water
 1 package pasta (16 oz)
 1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves
 pinch cilantro (garnish)
1

Turn on your instant pot to the saute setting and let the pot heat up. Once hot, put your coconut oil in the pot to melt.

2

Add your onions, ginger paste, and garlic paste to your oil and saute for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

3

Add your chicken pieces to the instant pot.

4

Add in all your spices to the instant pot (coriander, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper) and mix well with the onions. Cook with chicken pieces for 5-6 minutes.

5

Add the mushrooms, cauliflower, and green peppers to your instant pot and mix around to coat everything with the onions and spices.

6

Add the tomatoes sauce, water, and half the can of coconut milk.

7

Put the lid on the instant pot, close the vent on the top of the lid, press manual setting, and put the timer on for 9 minutes.

8

You can either quick release the vent once your instant pot beeps (prefer this so that your pasta does not get mushy), or you can do a natural release which means just letting the steam escape on its own. Once all the steam is out (the silver pin would have dropped to indicate this), you can open your lid.

9

Add the rest of your coconut milk and fenugreek leaves. Mix well. Enjoy!
