Fettuccine
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
Liquid and Dairy
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Instant Pot: Add the fettuccine pasta, minced garlic, and low-fat milk into the Instant Pot. Make sure the pasta is submerged in the milk to ensure even cooking.
- Pressure Cook the Pasta: Secure the lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes to achieve perfectly tender pasta infused with garlic flavor.
- Quick Release Pressure: Once cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure to stop the cooking process immediately and prevent overcooking the fettuccine.

Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
- Low-fat milk helps reduce calories while keeping the Alfredo creamy.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or Italian herbs for added depth.
- Do not overfill the Instant Pot to avoid the burn warning.
