Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ½ cup vodka
- 2 ½ cups water

Directions
Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Select high temperature setting, and preheat the pot for 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter and oil. Add onion and cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper, and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.
Step 2
Pour in vodka and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Cancel Saute function. Stir in water, penne, and salt. Pour tomatoes over penne; do not stir. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 3
