We use chicken breasts for this recipe, but thighs would also work.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong> and <strong>garlic<\/strong>. These form a delicious flavor base for the soup.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasonings<\/strong>. This soup gets a little heat from red pepper flakes and plenty of herby flavor from dried basil and parsley.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Broth<\/strong>. We use low-sodium chicken broth, but vegetables or beef will also work.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pasta<\/strong>. Choose medium shells so they cook in the same time as the diced chicken.&nbsp;(The package should have a listed stovetop cook time of 10 to 11 minutes.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butternut<\/strong> <strong>squash<\/strong>. Grab pre-cut frozen butternut squash, which is much easier to manage (and cheaper) than whole squash.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong>. This will thicken up the sauce nicely.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Half and half<\/strong>. Whole milk or cream will also work.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon<\/strong>. This adds a touch of acid to brighten up the dish in a big way.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheese<\/strong>. Choose low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese to turn this butternut squash pasta into a wonderfully gooey, cheesy dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almonds<\/strong>. A sprinkle of slivered almonds adds a nice crunch and nuttiness.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Butternut_Squash_Pasta_Instant_Pot_recipe_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_PCT-1696-800x1199.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead view of the chicken, spices, and pasta added to the Instant Pot and ready for cooking.\" class=\"wp-image-46987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Butternut_Squash_Pasta_Instant_Pot_recipe_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_PCT-1696-800x1199.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Butternut_Squash_Pasta_Instant_Pot_recipe_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_PCT-1696-500x749.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Butternut_Squash_Pasta_Instant_Pot_recipe_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_PCT-1696-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Butternut_Squash_Pasta_Instant_Pot_recipe_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_PCT-1696-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Butternut_Squash_Pasta_Instant_Pot_recipe_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_PCT-1696.jpg 1001w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Butternut Squash Pasta in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\u2705 <strong>This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker<\/strong>, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/instant-pot-duo-and-smartcooker\/\">Instant Pot<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/ninja-foodi-pressure-cooker-review\/\">Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/how-to-use-the-power-pressure-cooker-xl\/\">Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this creamy pasta that\u2019s perfect for fall, start by<strong> seasoning your diced chicken breasts with salt and pepper<\/strong>.
