This is one of the very first hinge I made in my Instant Pot, and it continues to be my kids favorite.
I love the super easy dump and go ability. It’s a one pot meal that’s easy to assemble and easy to clean up.
Ingredients:
1lb penne pasta
Frozen meatballs
1 jar favorite pasta sauce
I put about 20 or so frozen meatballs in the bottom of the Instant Pot cook pot. Then dump 1 pound of penne pasta on top of the meatballs. Add 5 cups of water. Then put 1 jar of pasta sauce over the top of the uncooked pasta, trying to cover as much as possible.
Close the lid, make sure the steam valve is closed to allow it to get pressurized, and turn it on to 6 minutes. Once it is done, qpr (quick pressure release) so the pasta doesn’t overcook. I do this slowly, using a long wooden spoon or by turnjng the steam release just enough to slowly let the steam out.
**If you’ve made pasta before, you know that turning it all the way causes it to spit foam and pasta starchy liquid EVERYWHERE!
DON’T cover the steam release as this can cause the pressure to not release properly. Just go a little slower.**
Once the pressure valve has dropped, open and stir up your dish! Super easy. Super fast. Perfect for those last minute meals.
