The Instant Pot Miracle: One-Pan Pasta & Meat Sauce
Description
This Instant Pot one-pan pasta with meat sauce comes together very quickly. It has been a huge hit with the kids and a godsend on busy weeknights.
Ingreadient :
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, minced to yield about 1/2 cup
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 to 1 pound ground beef, see notes above
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1 (25.25-ounce) jar marinara sauce, see notes above
- 8 ounces dried short pasta, such as Campanelle or rotini, see notes above
- Freshly grated Pamigiano Reggiano, for serving
- Freshly cracked black pepper, for serving
Direction :
- Press the sauté button on an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. Add the oil, onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more. Add the ground beef and salt and brown the meat, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks, about 3 minutes.
- Add the marinara sauce, 2 cups water — I pour some of the water into the empty marinara jar and shake it to get every drop of sauce out — and the pasta to the Instant Pot. Give it a stir.
- Seal and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes (see notes above). Quick release, then open when the pressure subsides. Stir. Serve right away, topped with Parmesan and pepper, if desired.
