I took one of my favorite ziti recipes and converted it to cook in the Instant Pot.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces ziti pasta
- 1 cup water
- 1 (20 ounce) jar prepared marinara sauce
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- 4 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup shredded Provel cheese, divided
Directions
Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once hot, add oil and onion. Saut? until onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saut? until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add 1/2 of the ziti pasta and water.
Step 2
Mix together ricotta and marinara sauce in a bowl. Pour 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the ziti in the Instant Pot. Sprinkle with 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 Provel cheeses. Add remaining ziti pasta and top with remaining ricotta mixture.
Step 3
Cancel Saut? mode. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 4
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Top with remaining mozzarella and Provel cheeses and allow to melt. Once cheeses have melted serve garnished with basil leaves.
Cook’s Note:
Provel is a cheddar, Swiss and provolone blend, and has a melty buttery quality. I would not substitute.
