Instant Pot Pasta Recipes

Pasta is so easy to cook in the instant pot. I seriously am still amazed at how fast from start to finish a meal can be on the table. Pasta recipes usually cook for about 5-6 minutes and that’s it. Just a little prep time prior. This Italian sausage pasta recipe can be on the table in less than an hour and that includes bringing to pot up to pressure. If you do not have an Instant Pot, this recipe can be made on the stove as well. Basically, do the same thing as this recipe using a large saucepan. After that sausage has been browned on all sides, slice and let the sausage simmer in the sauce for about 45 minutes then add the cooked pasta, shredded cheese and enjoy.

The flavor of the sausage, mixed with the green peppers and mozzarella cheese, along with the seasonings and pasta makes one D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S meal everyone will enjoy.
