This is the ultimate lazy night vegetarian pasta dish.
My recipe is enough for two, but you can double it without changing the cooking time.
In the electric pressure cooker — I use an Instant Pot — layer:
16 ounces of thick pasta sauce
8 ounces of corn pasta (GF from Aldi — Penne is the perfect thickness)
3/4 of the jar filled with water (about 1 1/2 cups)
Put everything in in that order.
DO NOT STIR!
Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
Quick release and stir.
I know it sounds like it should be soupy, but the pasta absorbs the water as it cooks.
If you aren’t feeling as lazy as I was, you can spend a few minutes browning beef first.
You could also just toss in leftover meat from something else.
Since I was the only one eating it, I went with vegetarian and cooked enough for my next day’s lunch.
That sounds simple and easy to make. I love my Instapot. I was given a glass lid for mine with a handle for Christmas yesterday. It will be great to have when I want to store things in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! Is it the “slow cooker” one?
DeleteI love using the IP. We took ours with us for vacation and we have used it in some capacity every day. I even cooked the turkey breast for Christmas dinner in it.
