I love cooking pasta in my Instant Pot for two reasons.
- Everything cooks together making the cleanup of just one pot (dishwasher safe) so much easier.
- When you pressure cook your noodles in your sauce they absorb all the flavor rather than just boiling them in water.
Since purchasing my Instant Pot I have never cooked noodles on the stove in separate pots again!
13 Simple Instant Pot Pasta Recipes
Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi with Pasta
This recipe is so simple. You simply use the packets of McCormicks garlic butter shrimp scampi and add the remaining ingredients. It is a dump and push start meal that can easily be prepared on a busy weeknight.
Instant Pot Hamburger Helper with Fried Onion Topping
This is a quick and easy meal and is so much better than the boxed version. Plus the fried onion topping makes it even more delicious!
Instant Pot Shrimp Lo Mein
This Instant Pot Shrimp Lo Mein is our version of Chinese takeout. I is also a quick and easy meal. We make it with just broccoli and matchstick carrots but you can add in any vegetables that you like.
Instant Pot Broccoli Chicken Pasta Recipe
This was one of our favorite meals that we used to cook on the stove. This Instant Pot version is so much quicker and you only have one dishwasher safe pot to clean up afterwards.
You can cook your broccoli two different ways in this recipe. If you don’t mind your broccoli being well done and falling apart when you stir it (after pressure cooking) then you can cook it all together in one pot. Your other option is to buy a bag of steam-able broccoli. You steam it in the microwave while the rest of your ingredients are pressure cooking. Then you mix all together as the very last step.
Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese
This recipe makes a lot of macaroni and cheese!!! It is perfect for holidays or get togethers. You can also mix in different kinds of cheese to make it your own unique creation! 🙂
Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti
This Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti recipe is a simple spin-off recipe from regular spaghetti. It uses a jar of sauce and a little Tony Chachere’s seasoning that gives it a cajun flavor!
Instant Pot Goulash
This is a simple one pot meal that can be put together in under 30 minutes!
Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
This is simple recipe that uses a jar of Ragu Classic Alfredo Sauce. Not only does this keep your ingredients list down but it is also a dump and push start meal!
Instant Pot Creamy Beef and Shells
This is such a rich and creamy one pot meal you will definitely enjoy! If you love mexican food or anything that has a cheesy sauce you will love this. We use the Frontera Taco Skillet Sauce but you can use any type of Taco seasoning you have on hand.
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
I really didn’t like chicken noodle soup until we make it in the Instant Pot. Now I make this recipe in bulk and put some in the freezer for an even quicker meal. We eat then when we don’t have time to cook or someone in the house gets sick.
Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo
We like to make our Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo with a jar of Ragu Classic Alfredo Sauce. It makes a one pot meal even easier!
Instant Pot Taco Soup
We use Fiesta Soup Trio dry taco soup mix for this meal. You can use any taco soup mix that you prefer. We usually get the Fiesta soup trio mix from school fundraisers but you can also find it at Amazon here.
Instant Pot Sphaghetti
This was the very first meal we made in our Instant Pot. It came out perfectly on the first try….. I was very surprised. We used jar spaghetti sauce and cooked everything together making it a simple one pot meal!
