Ingredients

  • 16 oz Boxes - Uncooked Rotini Pasta
  • 4 Cups - Chicken Broth
  • ½ Tsps - Salt
  • ½ Tsps - Ground Pepper
  • ½ Tsps - Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Cup - Cream or Half and Half
  • 2 ½ Cups - Fresh Shredded Cheese

Instructions

  1. In the pot of the Ninja Foodi, pour the uncooked pasta and chicken broth.

  3. Secure the pressure cooker lid, turn the nozzle to SEAL. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
  4. Once done, move the nozzle to VENT and quickly release all of the steam. (If your pasta is not cooked fully, you can open the lid, test it, and then shut the lid and let it sit for another 1 minute to fully cook if you used a different type of pasta.)
  5. With a spatula, mix up the pasta.
  6. Turn the Ninja Foodi to OFF.
  7. Add in the salt, pepper, and paprika.
  8. Pour in the cream and mix well.
