Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 28 ounces whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Instructions

- Follow the manufacturer’s guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.

Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid, then crush the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Stir in the penne.

It’s so simple, I literally made this with ingredients I had on hand and it was
So Good!
The base recipe needed a lot of tweaking for me. Added half Lb of Spicy italian and mild italian sausages, aligned with my palate much better after that.
Loved it. Can keep all ingredients needed in my pantry. Did not realize you can cook pasta in an instapot. Should have know
Love the instant pot so much I bought one for our beach house. I was looking for something tasty and easy to make while at the beach and came across this recipe and the photo of the pasta in the dish was appealing. It was so easy to make and is delicious! The pasta cooked to perfection in the recommended time. Didn’t have whole garlic so had to use minced garlic but it didn’t seem to negatively affect the flavor. Did not use the red peppers flakes. We are happy to find a recipe for a tasty meatless pasta! And, since it doesn’t require meat I can keep the ingredients on hand and have it ready fairly quickly. Served it with salad and garlic bread. I will be sure to serve this again to both family and friends.
Awesome meal, kids loved it. Needed to cook the pasta a few minutes more in an 8 quart pot
Quick and easy to put together, tasted delicious too!!
My whole family enjoyed! That includes my 4 and 6 year old children. Very easy.
So loved this. Perfect meal that makes great leftovers!
Brings back childhood memories. Loved this
