This Instant Pot Pasta makes an easy and tasty vegetarian weeknight dinner the whole family will love!

Instant Pot Pasta with roasted red pepper and goat cheese penne

It’s back-to-school time and I already miss the easy summer schedule. The throwing together of dinner–a salad with all the fresh things we have and maybe some grilled chicken. If there’s no time for that, a can of beans will add some protein. Whatever it is, it’s quick, and not usually planned.

But back-to-school time? It’s different. The activities start. Schedules are back in place and dinners become planned again.

All I can say is these dinners need to be easy. Family dinners are a priority for this family, but with our busy schedules they can’t be too complicated.

That’s why I love this Instant Pot Pasta. It’s made with mostly pantry ingredients and you can easily prepare a side salad while it’s cooking and you’ve got yourself a healthy dinner. In less than 30 minutes. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Instant Pot Pasta with roasted red pepper and goat cheese penne

Let me show you how easy it is to make this Instant Pot Pasta!

How to Make Instant Pot Pasta

Step 1: 

In a blender, blend the roasted red peppers from a 16 ounce jar along with two tablespoons of the liquid from the jar. Set aside.

Step 2: 

Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and sauté 1/2 large diced onion and 1 tablespoon minced garlic in 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is softened. Press cancel.

Step 3: 

Add the pureed peppers, 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the Instant Pot. Stir. Add 1 pound whole wheat penne pasta. Please note that I haven’t tried this particular recipe with regular pasta, but the time will likely be less than with whole wheat pasta.

Step 4: 

Turn the Instant Pot on high pressure for 8 minutes. Allow it to have a natural release for 5 minutes, and then do a quick release.

Step 5: 

Stir in 1 cup of crumbled goat cheese.
