Instructions

Sauté aromatics

Set the Instant Pot to high heat settings in sauté mode. Add oil. When the oil becomes hot, gently release the onion and the minced garlic. Sauté until they turn soft.

Deglaze pot

Add white wine and deglaze the pot with the help of a spatula. Add water and deglaze the pot very well by scraping the sides and the bottom of the pot with the help of a spatula. This will help loosen any stuck food particles and prevent burn errors. Cancel the sauté mode.

Pressure cook

Add the whole wheat pasta. Give everything a good mix. Add all the seasonings mentioned in the "SEASONINGS" section above. Do not stir or mix. Now add the cooked turkey cubes on top of the pasta in a single layer. Do not stir or mix.
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot. Seal the valve and pressure cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 5 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is over, the Instant Pot will begin to beep. Immediately perform a quick pressure release by moving the valve manually from the sealing to the venting position. Once the floating metal pin on top of the lid drops, open the lid carefully. Cancel the Pressure Cook mode.

Add dairy

Turn on the sauté mode and keep it on normal heat. Add the warm heavy whipping cream and stir well. Allow the pasta sauce to simmer for 2 mins. Turn off the Instant Pot. Now add the grated parmesan cheese in batches and stir well until the cheese completely melts to form a creamy sauce. Serve the pasta with garnished with ground black pepper, red pepper flakes and grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Pasta: You can use regular pasta instead of whole wheat pasta. The cook time would change to 4 minutes on high pressure followed by quick release.
White wine options: You can use Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Unoaked Chardonnay, dry Vermouth, and Riesling. Avoid sweet wines.
Reheating leftovers: Pasta tends to absorb moisture over time, which can make the sauce dry when stored. To bring back the creaminess while reheating, just add a splash of water, milk, or cream.
