Creamy Beef and Shells in the Instant Pot

Step 1

Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add some olive oil to the Instant Pot and saute the onions until translucent and soft.

Step 2

Add the beef into the pot. Break apart the meat with a wooden spoon and allow it to brown completely.

Step 3

Once the meat is browned, add the chicken stock into the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot. This is an important step as you don’t want to cause a burn notice effect later.

Step 4

Add the tomato sauce into the pot, then the shells, then the Italian seasoning, then salt to taste in that order.

Step 5

Set Instant Pot to HIGH for 5 minutes. Once the pasta is done cooking, do an instant Release. Open the lid to the Instant Pot and add in the cream and the parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Enjoy!
