We have tried all sorts of dishes n the Instant Pot and even spaghetti comes out great…not a mushy blob of gooey noodles and sauce. Now, I know boiling noodles and adding sauce is not labor intensive rocket science, but…when you are trying to feed four kids while getting two ready for sports practice, hands off is a life saver!
Now…this is not a recipe for spaghetti…or any other kids of noodle dish, but it does highlight another great aspect of the Instant Pot. Cooking vegetables that normally take a while to get tender, quickly and packed with flavor.
Just add everything to the pot.
Close the lid and hit the button.
Your work is done 🙂
We served this over brown rice for a complete meal.
