For an even richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
If you don't have leeks, you can substitute with a small diced onion and a clove of garlic.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spice.
Ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid to cook evenly.

    I was a bit skeptical about cooking pasta in the Instant Pot, but this recipe proved me wrong. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was incredibly creamy.

  • Corine Will

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! My kids absolutely love it, and I love how easy it is to clean up.

  • Wilfrid Mosciski

    The natural pressure release is key to preventing the pasta from becoming mushy. Don't skip that step!

  • Paris Senger

    I added a splash of lemon juice at the end to brighten up the flavors. It was a delicious addition!
