Healthy Vegetarian Chili Mac (Instant Pot Friendly!)

Step 1

Set Instant Pot to saute function (normal level) and add olive oil through garlic above. Saute for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add diced tomatoes through vegetable broth and stir to combine.

Step 3

Secure lid onto Instant Pot and set to pressure cook/manual on high for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Use the quick release valve to release steam.

Step 5

Once pressure is released, open lid and stir in cheeses until melted and combined. Serve warm.

Step 6

Cook pasta according to the package directions and set aside.

Step 7

In a large pot, add olive oil, onions, garlic and all spices, and saute until the onions have caramelized a bit (about 5-10 min on medium heat). Then add the peppers, spinach, corn, salt, diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans and saute another 5-10 min on medium heat.

Step 8

Add half of the can of tomato sauce and stir to combine. Add the pasta into the pot and the cheese and stir to combine.

Step 9

Depending on how "saucy" the mixture looks, add in the rest of the tomato sauce. If you need it to be even more "saucy" add 1/2 cup vegetable broth at a time until the consistency is what you desire. Serve and enjoy!
