Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef or ground turkey
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp dried Italian seasonings
- 24 oz jarred marinara sauce
- 1 lb dry bowtie noodles
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Select the saute button on the Instant Pot. Add in the olive oil and ground beef and cook for about 6-7 minutes or until browned. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, dried Italian seasonings, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Select the cancel button on the instant pot. Add the marinara sauce on top of the cooked meat. Sprinkle the dry pasta on top of the marinara. Just layer, do not stir.
- Pour the 2 cups of water over the ingredients in the pot. There is no need to stir the ingredients. Just make sure there is enough liquid to barely cover the pasta so it cooks through. Too much liquid will result in soupy results.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Make sure the vent on top is in the seal position. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize, but the actual cook time is 4 minutes!
- When it's done cooking, use the quick release on top to depressurize the Instant Pot. This will ensure the pasta doesn't over cook. Remove the lid and stir in the ricotta cheese. Add in 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and stir to combine.
- Replace the lid for a few minutes to help melt the cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley!
Notes
- Any pasta can be used in place of the bowtie. (penne, rigatoni, ziti, broken up lasagna noodles)
