Ingredients
1 (32 oz) low-sodium chicken broth carton
1/2 cup of oil-packed herbal sun-dried tomatoes, AND drained and dabbed off with paper towels with excess oil, chopped
Italian seasoning 2 tsp
1 Tbsp of garlic that is minced
Salt and black pepper freshly ground
1 lb of boneless chicken breasts without skin, AND cut into 1-inch cubes
12 oz Uncooked Pasta Campanelle
5 oz of fresh spinach for babies
For 1 (8 oz) pkg. Light cream cheese, sliced and softened into cubes
1 cup of parmesan cheese finely shredded (use freshly shredded)
1/4 cup of fresh basil chopped
Instructions
1- Insert broth, Italian seasoning, tomatoes, garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper together in an instant pot ( And season with more at the end if needed).
2- Stir in the pasta and chicken ( and then try to submerge down into the broth).
3- Secure the lid in place and make sure that the pressure valve is set at the position of “sealing.” Choose the “manual” or high-pressure settings and set it to 6 minutes.
4- Select “cancel” after the time is up and then use the rapid release method to release pressure – which is to turn the valve carefully to the “venting” position and step back as steam releases.
5- When it stops sputtering, open the lid and stir immediately to separate the noodles, and then stir in the spinach, light cream cheese, and parmesan cheese.
6- Throw well, and then let stand to thicken for about 10 minutes (it will seem like soup at first but as it rests and cools it will thicken right up).
7- Just before serving, toss in the basil and serve warm (you could also garnish with a few diced sun-dried tomatoes if desired).
