To make this Salsa Verde Pasta I poured olive oil into the Instant Pot and turned it to the Saute Normal function for 7 minutes.

I added in 2 pounds of lean ground beef, yellow onion and some spices.

Once the Instant Pot turned off the meat was still slightly pink.

I added in 3 1/2 cups of water to deglaze the Pot, making sure to scrape any brown bits off the bottom.

Next I sprinkled in a box of Catelli Gluten Free Fusilli. I Did Not Stir.

Instead of stirring I gently pushed the fusilli down into the liquid.

I dumped some pasta sauce of choice on top followed by some Salsa Verde.  I Did Not Stir.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 2 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position to do a Quick Release.

Then I removed the lid and stirred the contents.

This will be very hot so it is fine to leave it for a couple minutes before serving it up.

This one Pot comfort meal will be enjoyed by anyone, and not just those that need to avoid gluten.

Your whole family will enjoy Instant Pot Salsa Verde Pasta and it is so quick and easy to make on those busy week nights!

Add a side salad, if you prefer to complete the meal.
