Winner Pasta Meal!
Thanks to Chef AJ for showing us a very simple and easy meal in the instant pot. You’ll need a box of jovial brown rice pasta, choose either penne or fuscilli. She served this delicious pasta on top of fresh Romaine with a Cashew Caesar dressing on top of it. You could just as easily put the pasta on top of a big bed of greens.
For the pasta, you’ll need 2 cups of boiling water and a jar of your favorite marinara sauce. I get mine from either Whole Foods or Aldi. That is all she used in her recipe. But I added a lot more to mine to get more veggies into it. I added some smashed cooked chickpeas, cooked lentils would’ve been fine too. I added bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini, okra, tomatoes and green beans. The pictures will show this.
Directions: into a six or 8 quart Instant Pot put the dry pasta up on the bottom layer then add 2 cups of boiling water on top of that. And then add your 3 cups of jarred marinara sauce. On top of that add any raw veggies/ cooke beans or even tofu. Pressure cook for 4 minutes and quick release when it’s done.
