Instructions
- Add broth, cream and garlic in to the pot. Place noodles(break in half), make sure then most of the noodles are covered in liquid. Dont stir( You dont want pasta noodles to get stuck on the bottom)
- Close and lock the lid. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Let naturally release for 5 minutes and the quick release (be careful because the cream may start coming out from the valve, just have a towel close by)
- Open the lid and separate stuck noodles with a fork. Stir well. Add Parmesan and stir again

Notes
*Buy Parmesan in blocks if possible. Already shredded Parmesan contains cellulose that is bad for your gut and also may prevent the cheese from melting.
*I prefer to salt and pepper Alfredo pasta after the cheese is already added.
