Such meals are full in nutrition and in taste too, and even kids love to have something all together in one plate/dish. Easy for them to finish too.

Ingredients to make Instant Pot Spinach Pasta

Any Pasta of Choice like Penne, Rotini, Farfalle or Spaghetti.

Fresh Spinach(pureed/finely chopped).

Creamy White Pasta Sauce/Alfredo Sauce/Béchamel Sauce. In case you don't have any of these, you can add same amount of fresh cream(Amul Cream or Heavy whipping Cream), with grated cheese/parmesan cheese.

Finely Chopped or minced Garlic, Onions . For no garlic no onion recipe, you can skip garlic and onion.

Italian Seasoning or Mix of dried herbs like Basil, Oregano, Thyme use any whatever is availabe.

Black Pepper or Red Chilli flakes.

Method

If you are cooking pasta for the first time in Instant Pot, cook time for pasta is just the half the time of the cook time .given on the box instructions.

So if the Pasta Cook Time is 10 mins. set the Pressure Cooker timer to 5 mins. Do the Quick Release Pressure. This cooks Pasta to Al-Dante. If you want to softer pasta, set Timer to 6 mins.

I have used Rotini Pasta, with cooking Time 7 mins. So, Instant Pot Cooking Time for this is 4 mins.. Many people keep 1 min. less than the half of actual pasta cooking time. But, 4 mins for soft pasta that my kids like to have.

If adding other veggies, I sauté those first and then take out, cook pasta and then adds with pasta. This keeps veggies like Bell Peppers Crunchy.

For every 1 Cup of Pasta add about the same amount of water. So if you are cooking 2 cups of pasta then add 2 Cups water.

Can I cook One Pot Pasta in Indian Pressure Cooker

No worries if you don;t have an Instant Pot. One Pot Creamy Pasta can still be prepared in your Indian Style Pressure Cooker.
