Gluten Free Pressure Cooker Pasta with Meat Sauce

Posted by Cindy · May 11, 2017

Do you need a quick and easy recipe for busy weeknight meals? You will love this Gluten Free Pressure Cooker Pasta with Meat Sauce. It is delicious and nobody would ever guess it is gluten and dairy free. If you can have dairy, parmesan is a great topping! I have made it with Barilla and Ronzoni brand pasta with great results. If you are looking for more Instant Pot recipes to make dinner time a breeze we have you covered. We use our pressure cooker (Instant Pot brand) at least four times a week. It has made a huge difference in our meal planning. I alway have this Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce on hand. I either make it, diving the ingredients into two freezer bags and freeze (add 10 mins to the cooking time if cooking from frozen) or I divide the recipe making one to eat now and one to freeze. It is a great pressure cooker recipe.

Author Cindy

Ingredients

1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
24 ounces spaghetti sauce
1 pound ground beef or sausage
12 ounces gluten free rigatoni pasta uncooked
2 cups chicken broth or water
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon basil

Instructions

Turn Instant Pot to saute. Cook meat, onions and garlic. Don't let garlic burn. Remove any extra fat. Add remaining ingredients to the meat mixture. Cover and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. When finished cooking quick release pressure. Open Instant Pot and stir pasta. Sauce will thicken slightly.

Recipe Notes

The perfect easy recipe for a busy weeknight. Be sure to allow time for the Intant Pot to pressurize. It takes about 10 minutes.

….and while you are eating you can be making dessert! A yummy Instant Pot Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake . Yes, dessert in the Instant Pot. This is why I have two of the inner pots! You can’t believe how handy it is to have two.

Hi. I'd rather not use broth or water. Does it have to do with the gluten free pasta? Can I just increase the marinara quantity? Look forward to your reply. Thx

  Marian, using only the marinara is too thick and I don't think you will be able to get the pressure cooker to pressurize.

Does this work as well with elbow macaroni. As it is, I have a hard time getting my husband to eat gluten free pasta, his mom was 100% Italian, so I usually use elbow, or small shell tinkyata. He's also not a fan of penne.

  I have made it with regular pasta. I promise you though, if you use Barilla brand pasta he will never know the difference!

I made this last night as my first instant pot recipe and it was amazing!!! I was so impressed with myself for pulling it off. I followed your recipe but added a few things - I sautéed in a tiny bit of olive oil to get my onions a little browner. I added a chopped up zucchini and I added a dash of white wine. Best dinner I have ever made. Thank you so much!! And the gluten free pasta was cooked perfectly.

  So happy you liked it Melissa. You must try the spaghetti and meatball recipe I have too. Super easy and yummy! It is a full pot so it does take some time to pressurize.
