Instant Pot Vegetarian Dump Recipes for the Win!

For all my recipes I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, its larger than the standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Ultra model also has some great extra settings like cake baking and yogurt making which are really neat. I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and actually makes my life so much easier.

How Do I Make This Pantry Pasta Recipe In the Instant Pot?

  1. Add all the ingredients to the Instant Pot.  Make sure to stir well.
  2. Set Instant Pot to Pressure Cook for 5 minutes. Once finished, quick release the pressure, taking care not to have your hands or face near the steam vent.
  3. Once float valve has lowered, carefully open the lid. Stir the pasta well to combine all ingredients and allow to sit with the Instant Pot off for 5 minutes for pasta to soak up the last of the sauce before serving.  Mangia!
