Pizza Pasta in an InstaPot

By vickysue_4

Pizza pasta is quick and easy to make in your InstaPot! Everyone in your family will love this pasta dish that includes pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. Serve with a side salad.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef, or mild sausage
• 8 ounces pizza sauce
• 16 ounces spaghetti sauce
• 3 1/2 cup water
• 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 package mini pepperoni
• 1 pound pasta (I used rotini)
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Step 1

Set the IP on “sauté”. Melt the butter, add the garlic, seasoning, and ground beef. Sauté/brown the hamburger until it's no longer pink.

Once browned, Add both spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce to the beef mixture. Next add in pasta.

Add the water. Give it a stir and put on the lid, and be sure to set the toggle switch to “seal”

Set on Manual for 5 minutes. Do a Quick Release and open the lid after the red pin has dropped.

Add cheese and pepperoni and stir into the pot until melted and mixed in well. (Note: when I opened it, it looked like there was a lot of liquid at first, but after stirring and mixing it up well with the cheese and pepperoni, it turned out perfect).

Serve and enjoy!
