Instant Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken Pasta

Don’t sleep on this cheesy, rich bacon ranch chicken pasta made in the Instant Pot!

At some point, I may update my picture for this pasta recipe because I’m a sucker for the colorful rotini and it always looks so crazy in recipes. This recipe is the bacon chicken ranch cheddar combo, which is so yummy. This recipe also has a little cream cheese for some richness. And, of course, it’s another Instant Pot recipe, so there is all the goodness of the flavor combos with it being a one pot, quick recipe to throw together for dinner!
