Instant Pot Creamy Ziti

There’s really no end to what we can cook in our Instant Pot, and our next favorite meal to prepare in this amazingly wonderful kitchen tool is our creamy ziti dinner. This one-pot-wonder means that we can have a satisfying meal on the table in under 30 minutes, and on busy weeknights that makes a HUGE difference for our family.

Typically we cook our pasta in water, but for this recipe, we’re using chicken broth and heavy cream and it sure does make a difference. There’s a richness that comes from using chicken broth as cooking liquid – as we all know – and we’re all for simple ways of adding flavor to simple dishes. The noodles go in dry along with the broth, heavy cream, and seasonings like garlic and onion powder, and dried basil. All we have left to do is turn on the Instant Pot and let it work its magic.

We need two more ingredients to finish the meal: tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, and we’re rather generous with the cheese because it’s just so good! All of this is mixed together in our Instant Pot and a warm meal is ready to be served. The noodles are cooked to perfection and are coated in a rich, creamy sauce that is beyond delicious. Naturally, we like to serve this with a little extra Parmesan on top, just for good measure. Truly, our Instant Pot is a kitchen-wonder, and our whole family enjoys simple and satisfying meals like this creamy ziti all made in our Instant Pot.
