The Instant Pot is  such a great way to make one-pot dishes – like this Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo! The chicken, pasta, and sauce all cook right in the same pot, which makes it easy to make and easy to clean up.

Another great thing about this pasta is that it’s rich and creamy and flavorful. I often pass on Alfredo sauce because it can lack flavor.

Tuna noodle casserole is a retro favorite! This Instant Pot version is a faster, easier, one-pot take that’s perfect for busy weeknights.

The tuna casserole has all of the classic components. I skip the “cream of” soup for a creamy homemade sauce that’s as tasty as it is easy to make.
