Ingredients 

-Olive oil -1 onion -1 lb ground beef -1 1/2 c chicken broth -1 1/2 c tomato sauce -8 oz shell pasta -1 tbsp Italian seasoning -1 c heavy whipping cream -1 c Parmesan cheese salt

STEP 1 Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add olive oil and saute the onions until translucent and soft. STEP 2 Add the beef into the pot. Break apart the meat with a wooden spoon and allow it to brown completely.

STEP 3 Add the chicken stock into the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot. STEP 4 Add the tomato sauce into the pot, then the shells, then the italian seasoning, then salt to taste in that order.

STEP 5 Set Instant Pot to manual for 5 minutes. Once the pasta finishes cooking, do an instant Release. Open the lid to the Instant Pot and add in the cream and the parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.  Enjoy!

WHY MAKE PASTA IN THE INSTANT POT? I know. You're thinking, I can just make this on the stovetop. The perks of cooking pasta this way is that I feel like the pasta is so much more flavorful. The pasta cooks in the chicken broth and tomato sauce, which makes it infinitely more scrumptious.

CAN I USE MARINARA SAUCE INSTEAD OF TOMATO SAUCE? Yes! If you’d like, you can use marinara sauce instead of tomato sauce. In fact, I use this combination in my Instant Pot Pasta with Palomino Sauce, and it is a delicious combination!
