Today marks the first day of yet another busy week. We are finally ‘healthy-ish’ again. So I’m back to making regularly scheduled family meals. But we still don’t have a lot of time on our hands between practices and extracurriculars. So we need easy meals. And our newest favorite easy weeknight meal is this Instant Pot Creamy Sausage Rigatoni.
What you’ll need
We know that one of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my Instant Pot. Between the Instant Pot and the air fryer (okay, and maybe the Vitamix, too!) — that’s all I need!
As far as ingredients, here’s what the recipe calls for:
- 1 pound of Ground Sausage
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of Pepper
- 24 ounces of Pasta Sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Italian Seasoning
- 3 cups of Chicken Broth
- 1/2 cup of Heavy Cream
- 16 ounces of Rigatoni Noodles
- 1 1/2 cups of Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- Fresh Parsley (Garnish)
- 1 tablespoon of Garlic
That’s basically it. The fresh parsley is optional, but absolutely delicious.
