An easy Instant Pot dinner made with seasoned ground beef, tender pasta, garlic and a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz lean ground beef
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 12 oz rigatoni
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and garlic.
- Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
- Sprinkle in the pasta. Pour tomato sauce over the top and add in the butter.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set manual/pressure cook button to 2 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Stir some of the hot liquid (there should be a little liquid not absorbed by the pasta) it with the cream to temper it. Then stir the cream into the pot.
- If you’d like to thicken the sauce you can make a cornstarch slurry. Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. In a small bowl stir together 1 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1-2 Tbsp of water, until smooth. Then pour the mixture into the Instant Pot. The cornstarch mixture will thicken up contents of pot quickly.
- Turn off saute setting. Stir in the parmesan. Serve and enjoy.
