I didn’t have the white wine but I wanted to make this badly. So I did it without and this came out delicious!! I just added extra water to the recipe lol and no burning issue for me either. So so good!

Made exactly as described, but used bucatini instead of fettuccine and parm for the cheese. Turned out perfectly and absolutely delicious....5 star recipe

I have dry tagliatelle egg noodles, would they still work for this recipe?

Made it last night for a socially distanced dinner party of six. Doubled the recipe. I was a bit nervous having never made it before. Followed the recipe exactly and it was perfection.

Made this tonight, thought it was amazing!!!! I had a few issues but therefore I learned a lot so I'm sure it'll go smoother next time. No matter - the flavors are amazing!

I like this recipe a lot, but I find that each time I've made it the milk breaks/curdles after pressure cooking. Is this typical? It doesn't matter too much once I stir everything up and it tastes delicious, but it does affect the look slightly.

So, we enjoyed this and will make it again. Followed directions exactly - maybe squash slightly larger chunks than indicated in recipe - and cooked pasta for 6 minutes. Will try 7 minutes next time as pasta a bit undercooked. I think it’s important to make sure that ,sunrooms cook enough to release liquid, as it’s needed for the success of the recipe. Hoping I don’t get the ‘burn notice’ that other reviewers got when I go to 7 minutes. Otherwise it’s a great meal or side dish in short order.

Got food burned twice, and even cleaned out the pot between tries. Also tried it a normal pressure, still got food burned warning. Should have done it on the stovetop!

This did not work at all. Got the burn warning on the instant pot. opened it up and added more water and again got the burn warning. finally decided to take everything out and cook it on the stovetop. Waste of time trying to do it in the instant pot.

Do you think I could do this with tagliatelle? I have some that's slow dried in those fancy little piles. The cook time is 8-10 minutes on the package, it just looks like it's wider (and maybe thinner?) than boxed fettuccine.

It worked great! This is a terrific recipe. Picky toddler approved as well, which is always a plus.

Great recipe!! Homey enough to feel like grandma’s but sophisticated enough to wow company. Didn’t use the pot but that shouldn’t stop you either just double the cooking times. My next step is to “veganize” it. Cue the Young Frankenstein roof scene.

Question - what step is the squash added. Did I miss it in the instructions? Thinking it goes in when the pasta does? Would love to make this but want to make sure...Thanks!

Hi Amy! The squash gets added at the end of step 1: "Add the onions, squash, 2 heaping teaspoons salt, and pepper. Sauté a few more minutes, mixing every so often, until the onions are beginning to turn translucent."
Hope you enjoy!

Hi - is it possible to make this on the stove top or would it not cook evenly enough?

Hi Kelsie,
You could totally make something similar on the stovetop. I'd crisp up the mushrooms and set aside, then sauté the onions, deglaze with wine, and add the squash and cream, and simmer until the squash is tender. (Meanwhile, make the pasta in another pot, and then mix into the sauce with the cheese and mushrooms when ready.) In theory you could also cook the noodles straight in the sauce (I do this a lot) but I haven't tested it on the stovetop with these liquid proportions, and it'd be a bit different because there's so little evaporation with the Instant Pot. So in other words, feel free, but just keep an eye on liquid levels as the noodles cook.

For many people the multi-cooker simplifies life: time saving, one pot, etc. Which is why the device is so popular.

And takes up a generous chunk of extra space.
I prefer a book to reading extended multi-cooker instructions.
Although, no doubt you also have a comeback for that in terms of time.
Pots? One for sauce, one for pasta. The latter only needs rinsing.
