Ingredients
- 1 lb. Italian Sausage, may substitute any ground meat, as desired
- 1 lb. penne pasta
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 24 oz. jar of your favorite marinara, I use Bertolli brand
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 splash heavy cream, to taste, for making the marinara nice and creamy
- freshly shredded Parmesan, to taste, as a garnish
Instructions
- Using the sauté setting on the Instant Pot, cook the sausage until it is fully cooked throughout and no pink remains; drain any fats that accumulate from the cooked sausage.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the Instant Pot, then add the pasta over the sausage as the next layer, evenly spreading the pasta out a bit. Next, sprinkle in the seasonings, then pour in the marinara. Lastly, pour the broth over all the ingredients in the pot. No matter how you are tempted, DO NOT STIR!!
- Lock the Instant Pot lid into place. Using the manual button, choose the high pressure setting for 5 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure, making sure the Instant Pot valve is set to the sealing position.
- When the timer sounds, perform a quick release to remove all the pressure from the Instant Pot. Carefully unlock and remove the Instant Pot lid; stir in the desired amount of whipping cream to make the pasta creamy Serve the pasta at once, topped with Parmesan, as desired.
