I stole this recipe for Rosé Rigatoni from a cookbook called Italian Cooking in Your Instant Pot: 60 Flavorful Homestyle Favorites Made Faster Than Ever. This delicious and easy to make pasta recipe is perfect for a weeknight. Rigatoni noodles are placed in the bottom of an Instant Pot. Then vegetable broth is poured on top of the noodles so that the noodles are covered. Next a jar of Alfredo sauce, marinara sauce and spices are poured on top. Once covered the pasta is pressure cooked for 6 minutes, then the pasta is stirred. Cream cheese and Parmesan cheese are stirred into the pasta until melted. This delicious pasta is served with additional cheese. You can make this recipe with your preferred brand of sauce.
The ingredients for this recipe are: 1 lb rigatoni, 3 cups vegetable broth, 16.9 oz jar Alfredo sauce and 24 oz jar marinara sauce.
Plus 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, 4 oz softened cream cheese and ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the rigatoni to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Then pour the vegetable broth on top. DO NOT STIR, but gently press the pasta down so they are mostly covered by the broth.
Pour the Alfredo sauce on top.
Next add the marinara sauce and then the spices. DO NOT STIR.
Secure the lid. Press “pressure cook” to HIGH and adjust time to 6 minutes. Quick release the remaining steam. Stir the pasta.
Then add in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, stir until incorporated.
Serve and enjoy.
