FETTUCCINE WIDTH RECIPES

Steps:

• Turn on an electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot to sauté. Once heated, add the olive oil, followed by the chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes more.
• Turn the pressure cooker off. Add 1/2 cup of the water and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Add the alfredo sauce and stir to combine well. Using your hands, break the fettuccine in half, then place it evenly over the chicken-alfredo mixture. Do not stir from this point on.
• Rinse the alfredo sauce jar with the remaining 1 1/2 cups water (pour the water into the jar, cover, and shake gently) and then pour the water over the pasta. Remember — no stirring here.
• Seal the pressure cooker. Use the manual setting to set the pressure cooker to cook for 8 minutes under HIGH pressure. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to come up to pressure.
• When the cook time is done, immediately do a quick release of the pressure. Turn the pressure cooker off. Open it, add the Parmesan, and stir quickly to combine. Cover the pressure cooker again and let sit for 3 minutes for the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Meanwhile, finely chop 1 large shallot (about 1/3 cup) and 4 cloves garlic. Halve 2 pints cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the leaves from 1/2 fresh parsley until you have 1/3 cup.
• When the pasta is ready, reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain pasta.
• Pat 8 ounces scallops dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a high-sided 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the scallops in a single layer and cook until golden-brown on both sides and opaque in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the shallots and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to soften and release juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1/2 cup dried white wine, pinch red pepper flakes, the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and a few grinds of black pepper, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the wine is reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Nestle 8 ounces peeled, deveined shrimp into the sauce and cook, flipping halfway through, until pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes total.
• Add the pasta, parsley, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat, adding more pasta water to loosen sauce as needed. Taste and season with more kosher salt and black pepper as needed. Divide the pasta between bowls and top with the scallops.
