Instant Pot Pasta

Step 1

Start by add 3 cups of water to the Instant Pot. If you are using stock, you can simply add stock instead of water. Then add the bouillon to the water. You can also skip the bouillon, I highly recommend it – it takes the flavor to a whole new level.

Step 2

Then add the onion powder and garlic powder.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and then the marinara sauce/pasta sauce.

Step 4

Then add the pasta and mix with a spatula. The penne should be just under the level of the water.

Step 5

Then cover the lid of the Instant Pot and Pressure Cook for 5 minutes. As soon as the cooking cycle is over, perform a quick release of pressure and open the lid. Hit cancel to turn off the Instant Pot. Do not let it continue to cook in ‘Keep Warm’ mode, as this will cause the sauce to dry up.

Step 6

Add the parmesan cheese and the cream and mix gently to combine. Your creamy Instant Pot pasta is done. Serve hot!
