Delicious Gluten Free Pressure Cooker Pasta with Meat Sauce
I have made this pasta in the instant pot with both 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 always have this Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce on hand. I either make it, divide 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 one of my favorite pasta sauces made in the pressure cooker.
Gluten Free Instant Pot Pasta with Meat Sauce

- 24 ounces spaghetti sauce
- 1 pound ground beef or sausage
- 12 ounces gluten free rigatoni pasta uncooked

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 the stir pasta. Sauce will thicken slightly.

Hello Bon, I would try cooking the regular pasta for 6 minutes.
Hello Bon, I think I would try 6 minutes.
This was my go to gf recipe a long time. Now I don’t need gf pasta; how do I adjust the time for same ingredients with non gf rigatoni?
Made this for my Mom as she has a wheat allergy. What a mess. Followed the recipes exactly and it was a gummy mess and burned it needed may more liquid. Last time I try any pasta recipes in the IP.
Hello Pat, I think I would go ahead and add…. the recipe calls for jarred Spaghetti sauce and I would think that would have seasoning. If you are concerned you could add half the amount and then adjust seasoning when it is finished. Please let me know what you think
If I use your instant pot spaghetti sauce recipe, then do I leave the basil and Italian seasoning out of the final recipe?
This was delicious! I made just as written. We enjoyed it and have a little left over for lunch tomorrow. Perfect for cooking in the RV!
It’s an amazing article for all the web visitors; they will get advantage from it I am
sure.
When I did this with gluten free pasta it turned out gummy. The sauce part was gummy. Is there an answer to this. I think I did everything right… about time and pressure quick release… The spaghetti didn’t seem overdone.

Made a double batch of this tonight for my family with GF Spaghetti. Worked out perfect. Just reduced the cook time to 6 minutes and added a bit more water at the end to loosen it up a bit. Thanks for a super easy, delicious meal.
I’m planning on trying this soon! I have celiac disease and haven’t found a GF pasta recipe in the IP before! I do want to point out that the pasta is actually penne and not rigatoni. Neither Ronzoni or Barilla brands make a rigatoni. I only know this because my kids are obsessed with rigatoni so I have to make them a gluten version LOL.
