Ingredients
- 1 lb mild Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 24 ounce jar marinara sauce
- 3 cups water
- 16 ounces rigatoni
- ½ cup heavy cream (or half and half)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley, for topping
Instructions
- Turn on the Instant Pot to the "brown/saute" function.
- Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spatula into small pieces as it cooks, and cook until browned.
- Add the olive oil add the onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook one more minute.
- Add the marinara and water, stirring to combine.
- Add the rigatoni but don't stir - just press the rigatoni pasta down to submerge it in the water. This prevents any burn notice from happening.
- Cover the Instant Pot, seal the vent, and cook on HIGH manual pressure for 6 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure.
- Stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well combined.
- Serve topped with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
