Sigrid, a long time reader of Pressure Cooking Today, recently sent me an email:<\/p>\n

When I saw this Food Network article<\/a> today I thought of you. I know you regularly convert traditional cooking recipes to pressure cooking recipes. Given that this traditional recipe is the most re-pinned pasta recipe on Pinterest (2.8 million re-pins) and has been shared 50,000 times on Facebook, I suspect it would be a very successful post on your blog if it\u2019s converted to a pressure cooker recipe. Also sounds like a delicious dish!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One look at the recipe and I knew Sigrid was right, my readers and my family would love it too. Especially if I transformed it into a quick and easy one pot pressure cooker meal. .<\/p>\n

The original recipe, Chicken and Bacon Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes in Garlic Cream Sauce<\/a>, is from Julie’s Album where she shares easy-to-make weeknight dinner recipes.<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/p>\n

Making Instant Pot \/ Pressure Cooker Chicken Bacon Penne Pasta in a Garlic Cream Sauce<\/h2>\n

In addition to the chicken, bacon and pasta, you add spinach and tomatoes. The spinach and tomatoes add a great pop of color and good for you veggies to the pasta, so you can feel good about making it a one pot meal. If you wanted you could easily double the spinach and tomatoes.<\/p>\n

The paprika in the recipe adds a pretty color to the creamy sauce and bumps up the smokiness of the bacon flavor in the dish.<\/p>\n

\"Chicken-Bacon-Penne-Pasta<\/p>\n

The original recipes uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I prefer using chicken thighs in recipes when cooking them in the pressure cooker, so I used chicken thighs when I made this pasta. Chicken thighs are more moist and tender when cooked in the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are widely available in most stores now. I generally buy a large package of thighs at Costco to keep in the freezer.<\/p>\n

But if you prefer breasts, either breasts or thighs will work well in this recipe.<\/p>\n

\"Cooking<\/p>\n

My family absolutely loved this recipe. It’s flavorful and hearty. It reheats well and you can even freeze leftovers. I like to freeze it in individual portions for quick lunches.<\/p>\n

Pin this recipe because you’re definitely going to want to give this pressure cooker recipe a try! Thanks Sigrid for suggesting I give it a try.<\/p>\n

Update: <\/strong>This recipe has quickly become a reader-favorite and is one of my most-shared recipes this summer. Some readers have emailed me questions about the recipe, so I’ve created a video to show you how easy it comes together. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
