Easy Pasta Primavera Made in an Instant Pot

Ingredients 0/9

Step 1

Turn on your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Toss in the butter and let it melt, then add the chopped onion. Cook it until it looks soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, stir in the garlic and cook for another minute or two until you can really smell it, but be careful not to let the butter burn. Season everything with some pepper.

Step 2

Slowly pour in the lemon juice—you might see some steam come up—and then add the cooking wine. Turn off the sauté function right away and use a spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Add your pasta to the pot and pour in just enough water to barely cover it.

Step 3

Place a steamer basket on top of the pasta, then add your frozen veggies into the basket. Season with a little salt and pepper. Lock the lid in place and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 1 minute. It’ll take about 10 to 15 minutes to come up to pressure.

Step 4

Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 2 minutes, then carefully switch to the quick-release to let out the rest. Open the lid, take out the steamer basket, and stir the veggies into the pasta. Give it a good mix and you’re ready to serve!
