Creamy macaroni in a pressure cooker for Saturday

Those looking for a practical option for Saturday lunch can bet on a macarrão cremoso made in the pressure cooker. The recipe combines simple ingredients such as red pepper, cream and parmesan cheese, and is ready in a few minutes. The step-by-step approach has been released by the portal Catraca Livre and does not require advanced skills in the kitchen.

The preparation begins with sautéing the spices and pasta directly in the pressure cooker. Then just add water, close the pot and cook for a few minutes. After the pressure goes out, the cream comes in to give the creamy texture. The finishing takes parmesan cheese and basil leaves.

Simple and affordable ingredients

The ingredients list includes 1 seedless and chopped red pepper, plus salt, ground black pepper and basil leaves to taste. The pasta and the cream complete the base of the dish. The source did not detail the exact amount of pasta, water or cream, but the tip is to adjust according to the number of servings desired.

Red peppers give color and a slight sweetness to the sauce, while fresh basil brings aroma. The pepper can be adjusted to the taste of each. Because they are common ingredients, the recipe becomes accessible for everyday use.

Step by step in the pressure cooker

The preparation is straightforward: after sautéing the ingredients, add water and close the pot. Pressure cooking speeds up the process and leaves the pasta al dente. The source did not specify the exact cooking time, but advises waiting for the pressure to come out completely before opening.

With the pan open, add the cream and mix until a creamy sauce. Adjust the salt and transfer to a dish. Finish with parmesan cheese and basil leaves. Serve next to enjoy the creaminess.

Tip to the right point of the sauce

If the sauce becomes too liquid after opening the pan, let it set for a few minutes on low heat with the lid open. Adjust the water according to the type of pasta so as not to pass the point. This orientation helps to avoid a watery or excessively dry dish.

Water control is essential because each mass absorbs liquid differently. The tip is as good for spaghetti as for pen or screw. Thus, the final result is balanced and with the ideal texture.

On Saturdays, they usually order quick meals, but without giving up the taste. The macarrão cremoso in the pressure cooker meets this need as it reduces dishwasher and stove time. In addition, it is an option that pleases different palates and can be served as a single dish.
