Instant pot creamy sausages and pasta
An easy creamy sausage pasta that is delicious, and best of all, quick to make in the Instant pot.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb of spaghetti pasta (500 g)
- 1 chopped onion
- 4 smoked sausages
- 1 cup of frozen spinach*
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1 cup of crême fraiche or heavy cream
- 1 cup grated cheese eg. parmesan, gruyère, cheddar, emmental, etc.
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 5 cups of water
Instructions
- Slice the sausage into small vertical slices that make for easy cooking.
- Chop the onion into slices or small cubes.
- In the Instant pot, use the sauté function to sauté the sausage and the onions for 2 minutes. (If you use whole wheat pasta, add one minute to the Instant pot cooking time.)
- Place the uncooked spaghetti into the Instant pot along with the sausage, spinach, and onions.
- Add water until the pasta is covered.
- Add the garlic powder, salt and pepper to Instant pot.
- Close the Instant pot and cook at Manual high pressure for 2 minutes.
- After the Instant Pot timer ends, quick release the steam.
- Open the instant pot and add the crême fraiche and cheese into the mix.
- Stir and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve while warm.
Notes
- If using fresh spinach, add it into the Instant pot after the Instant pot finishes cooking the pasta, not before.
- If the pasta is too watery after cooking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes for the water to reduce.
