Looks great Diane! And I particularly love the jalapeño! I love things I can add spice to!
Me too but I would have loved this with hot Italian sausage added. I like my meat!
Add hot Italian sausage.. duly noted!
This sounds great!
If you like your veggies crisper would reversing the order and cooking the veggies for less time work as well?
I doubt it since it is a pressure cooker. But honestly I can’t say for sure. I just received the Instant Pot for Christmas and this was my 3rd time using it…lol However you could easily make this recipe in a pan on the stove with the results you want. Just cook the pasta in water and add them after you drain them.
I love the idea of making this with jalapeno peppers instead of red chili pepper. That’s what I’ve usually used for spicy marinara sauce, but I want to try it with jalapenos now!
I love Jalapeno peppers! However, to be honest, the grocery store didn’t have the chili peppers so I improvised. They tasted great!
I usually use the dried red chili pepper flakes…I hate cutting chili peppers so I always have a big bottle of those on hand! But I love jalapeños so definitely going to try your improvised way soon. Sometimes improvising in cooking leads to the best discoveries!
It looks heavenly tasty. Keep sharing more inspiring recipes. I hope you will soon check my latest post about Digital Marketing which is fastly growing in india too now. https://amazingshining.com/digital-marketing-career-2/
Way ahead of you, already did…lol Thanks!
LOVE IT! eat it often but like your twists, will do it your way next time Diane! x
Thank you! My husband loved it. Me, I need meat and would have loved it with hot Italian sausage…lol
Looks Yummy!!
It really was, thank you so much!
🙂
wow looks amazing!
Thank you!
This sounds and looks delicious. I would probably cut my zucchini up into smaller pieces though. My mother-in-law just got and instant pot for Christmas. Maybe I can try it.
The recipe states to cut the sliced pieces in half. My zucchini were really small. I had to use two of them to equal one medium. But they sure were tender and delicious that small..lol
Scrumptious
Thank you Matt!
I like Penne, do you make a good vodka sauce?
No I have never made it or even heard of it, so sorry.
You never heard of Penne and Vodka?
I’ve never heard of a recipe using them both together.
It is always nice when a meal is quick and delicious! 💕
Yes it sure is! Thank you Bernice!
Your welcome! 💕
Nice healthy and tasty recipe, Diane, thank you for sharing as I will definitely give it a crack!! Donna 🧚🏻♀️❤️🙏 donnadoesdresses.com
It was very good and easy to make so enjoy! Thank you for your nice comment Donna!
Looks so beautiful & delicious!
Thanks Megala! Even though this tasted good, I’m still not impressed with the Instant Pot.
Oh, I’ve been thinking of buying IP, may I know your personal account on IP?
I’ve made 3 recipes in mine. One was awful and the other two tasted good but nothing like cooking on the stove. I think my cousin said it best. She said they aren’t for the experienced cooks like us but for the beginners. In my opinion it was a huge waste of money.
Oh, then I would love to buy slow cooker than Instant pot. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I’m hopelessly behind in Reader … well this is healthful with all the veggies despite the pasta – live large!
Thank you Linda! Although this tasted good it’s probably going to be the last recipe in the Instant Pot. Just not impressed with it.
Yes, you don’t want to use all the ingredients and not enjoy it and waste them. That’s a shame – you are a Ninja girl for sure.
Looks yummy! Bet your family enjoys eating all this food.
Oh yes! I tell my husband that’s why we will be married for 29 years in November, because of all the cooking I do for him…hahaha Thanks Rachael!
LOL. 29 years? That’s cool!
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
