Equipment

  • Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker
  • Ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cup Pasta any of your Choice
  • 1 Cup Spinach Pureed / Finely Chopped
  • 1 Cup Creamy White Sauce(Alfredo/Béchamel
  • 2-3 Cloves Minced Garlic
  • ½ Cup Finely Chopped Onions
  • ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • Red Chilli Flakes as required
  • Salt as per taste
  • Vegetables like mixed bell peppers/corn as required

Instructions
 

  • Switch in the Instant Pot On, to SAUTE MODE for 5 mins.
  • Once the display shows HOT, add oil to it.
  • Then add finely chopped onions, minced garlic and sauté for about a minute.
  • If adding veggies, add now and sauté lightly. Take out before adding spinach puree. I added corn, and cooked along with pasta.
  • Add pureed spinach. I had spinach puree, so I used that. You can add fresh finely chopped spinach sauté for about 1 one minute.
  • Add sweet corns(optional) and then add pasta.
  • Add pasta and then add water. Since I added spinach puree, I added 1¾Cup, ¼ Cup less water. For 2 Cups pasta you can add 2 cups water when adding finely chopped spinach.
  • Cancel the SAUTE MODE, put on the lid and Switch on the PRESSURE COOK MODE. Set the Timer to 4 Mins. Check the time for cooking on pasta box and set accordingly .
  • 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 for me, 4 mins gives us soft pasta that my kids like to have.
  • Once time is done, do the Quick Release of Pressure. Open the lid.
  • Add cream, black pepper powder, Italian herbs and grated cheese.
  • Mix everything lightly.
  • Serve hot.

Indian Pressure Cooker Method

  • Follow the steps till adding pasta and water, then cook for 2 whistles.
  • Release pressure immediately and check pasta.
  • Add Cream cream, seasoning and mix well, sprinkle cheese before serving, and serve hot with garlic toast!!
