You know that weird texture that slow cookers give sausages? Yeah, well that doesn't happen with the Instant Pot.

I'm sorry.

If you don't have an Instant Pot, I'm truly sorry for you. I've gone on and on lately about how amazing they are, so I won't do that now. I'll just say how happy I am that I finally gave in and bought one.

Okay, moving on.

First, I browned the sausage, using the saute function.

Next, I added diced tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, onions and peppers and set the Instant Pot to 20 minutes.

While the Instant Pot was making magic, I cooked my pasta on the stovetop. I'm sure there's a way to dump the pasta right into the Instant Pot, but I was feeling lazy and didn't want to figure out the liquid that would be needed. I apologize. But whatever, this is still way easier than if I were making it all on the stovetop. One of these days I'm sure I'll figure it out with the pasta inside and I'll update you. I promise.

Once the Instant Pot was done making magic, I removed the sausage and sliced it and then tossed it back into the pot and also added the cooked pasta to the pot. Finally, I switched the Instant Pot to saute mode just to help bring it all together for a minute or two before serving. I always like to cook my pasta in with the sauce before serving.

If you don't feel like making pasta, feel free to just use some tongs to place the sausage (prior to cutting) into sub rolls with the onions and peppers. This also is great served over rice.

Notes

I don't add salt to this dish because I season my pasta well with salt during cooking. If you don't salt your cooking pasta, feel free to add salt to the sausage mix.
