Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Canned Goods: Tomato paste, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes
- Meat: I use 85% lean ground beef. You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
- Chicken Broth: Sub beef broth for a more meaty flavor.
- Pasta: This recipe usually uses macaroni noodles, but feel free to use any short pasta you have on hand (shells is another good choice!). Adjust the cook time by cutting the stovetop time on the pasta box in half and then adding 1 minute. This is how long you will cook the pasta in the Instant Pot!
- Seasoning: Olive oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, Worcestershire sauce
- Cheddar Cheese: I prefer mild cheddar. Make sure to buy a block and then grate it by hand for the best results! Pre-shredded cheese has an anti-coagulation agent on it that doesn’t make it great for melting.
- Onion: I used a yellow onion but a white onion, sweet onion, or red onion will also work depending on what you have on hand.
- Make sure to add the pasta last and stir it lightly. You want your pasta to be fully covered by the liquid, but you don’t want the noodles to touch the bottom of the Instant Pot or it could cause a burn notice.
- When you add the liquid, use a spoon to scrape any food off of the bottom of the pot to avoid a burn notice.
- You can substitute pasta sauce for the tomato sauce if you want some extra flavor!
