Sausage Pasta with Onions and Peppers in the Instant Pot
Full meal, ready in under a half hour and made easy with the Instant Pot. Pasta can be cooked on the side or skipped altogether and use the sausage, onions and peppers as a sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 T olive oil or coconut oil
- 5-6 links Italian sausage
- 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes do not drain
- ½ C chicken broth or water
- 2 bell peppers I used 1 green and 1 orange, sliced
- 1 sweet onion sliced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
- 8 oz long pasta
Optional:
- parmesan cheese
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Set instant pot to saute mode. Once hot, add oil and sausages. Cook, turning occasionally, just a few minutes until sausage is browned.
- Turn off saute function and add in tomatoes, broth, garlic powder, black pepper and Italian seasoning. Place the sliced onions and peppers on top.
- Lock lid in place and turn valve to sealing. Use manual setting and change time to 25 minutes.
- Prepare pasta, according to package instructions while sausage is cooking.
- When 25 minutes is up, release steam with quick release. Remove the sausage from the pot and slice. Return sliced sausage back to pot and set to saute mode. Stir in cooked pasta. Cook on saute, tossing to combine well just 2-3 minutes.
- If desired, top with parmesan cheese and/or parsley before serving.
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.
