Here’s how easy it is to make in your electric pressure cooker.
The basic steps to make Instant Pot chicken fettuccine alfredo are here.
You’ll need to break your fettuccine noodles in half to fit them properly in your pot, I did the same thing when I make Instant Pot spaghetti.
- In my opinion it is easier to eat when they are a bit shorter anyway.
Now you can make this alfredo as thick or as thin as you want.
Use more or less half and half and/or cornstarch to adjust it to the thickness you desire.
- To add meat just put in shredded rotisserie chicken (or drained, canned) after the pressure cooking process is done.
It’s super easy.
This is what you’ll need to make this easy Instant Pot fettuccine alfredo recipe
- Fettuccine noodles
- Chicken broth or stock
- Garlic – I use jarred minced
- Butter
- Parmesan cheese
- Half and half or heavy cream
- Oil – I always use olive oil
- Salt – optional
- Cornstarch – thickener, optional
- Add a can of chicken when you take lid off to add some protein too!
If you want to add shrimp on top here is how to defrost frozen Instant Pot shrimp, or cook fresh.
- Our Instant Pot shrimp alfredo pasta is fabulous too with the same flavors as this fettuccine recipe but quicker and uses jarred sauce, both are great.

This is a great simple recipe, just what I needed. Made this as a side for steak and snap peas. I will add some chicken another time! I added a dash of nutmeg to my alfredo.
I would recommend a *long* fork (if you have one- I don’t) to break up the pasta since its kind of hot to use a regular sized fork.

You have changed my life. I also love my instant pot and bought several books for recipes. None of the books had any recipes that I cared to make. Then I discovered your recipes. I love all of your instant pot recipes. You should write a cookbook. Thank you so much!
