prep time 5 Min
cook time 30 Min
method Pressure Cooker/Instant Pot

Ingredients For quick pasta dinner

  • 1 lb
    lean hamburger (ground turkey or italian sausage would work great to)
  • 4 c
    penni noodles (or ziti)
  • 28 oz
    beef broth
  • 3 c
    pasta sauce
  • 1 tsp
    salt, black pepper, garlic powder, & onion powder
  • 2 tsp
    italian seasoning
  • 1/2 c
    mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 pinch
    red pepper flakes *optional*

How To Make quick pasta dinner

  • 1
    Take out your pressure cooker. Place ingredients in the cooker in order of the list above. You can use frozen meat but I would suggest that the meat is flatten out (Not a large ball).
  • 2
    Turn pressure cooker on high pressure for 22 minutes.
  • 3
    Once done cooking, release the steam (Quick Release). Open lid away from your face due to stem. Take two forks and separate the meat to smaller piece. Mix and enjoy!
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
